Summary
Simulations of a solar chimney power plant fitted with a ground energy storage layer, modelling the collector, chimney and storage layer separately. As irradiance rises from 200 to 800 W/m², the storage layer's heat storage ratio first falls then rises, airflow speeds up, outlet and storage temperatures climb, and a steeper temperature gradient raises heat loss through the layer's base.
