Effect of collector efficiency on levelized electricity cost of 200 MW solar chimney power plant in India

Summary

Cost assessment of a 200 MW solar chimney power plant sited in India, estimating construction materials, capital outlay and levelized electricity cost for fifteen combinations of tower height and collector diameter. These configurations cover collector efficiencies from 33% to 65%, and the resulting capital costs and electricity costs are compared across efficiency levels.
