Estimation of levelized electricity cost of solar chimney power plant in India by using approximate cost model of Pretorius and Kroger Zainab Akhtar; K.V.S. Rao Estimates what it would cost to build and run solar chimney plants rated from 5 to 200 MW under Indian conditions, using Pretorius and Kroger's simplified costing approach with chimney walls thickening along their height and turbines priced as a fixed fraction of the structure. Larger plants come out cheaper, with electricity falling from roughly Rs 4.2 to Rs 2.6 per kWh.
