Improving Electricity Production in Solar Chimney Power Plants with Sloping Ground Design: An Extensive CFD Research Pınar Mert Cuce; Erdem Cuce; Harun Sen Numerical investigation of a solar chimney power plant whose ground under the collector is inclined upward toward the chimney to boost heat storage and help the airflow rise. A 3D ANSYS model of the Manzanares prototype, validated against measurements, shows the best sloped design raising peak air velocity by about 34% and power output by about 23%.

Summary
Numerical investigation of a solar chimney power plant whose ground under the collector is inclined upward toward the chimney to boost heat storage and help the airflow rise. A 3D ANSYS model of the Manzanares prototype, validated against measurements, shows the best sloped design raising peak air velocity by about 34% and power output by about 23%.
