Numerical analysis on the performance of solar chimney power plant system Guoliang Xu; Tingzhen Ming; Yuan Pan; Fanlong Meng; Cheng Zhou Simulations of a solar chimney power plant modelled on the Spanish prototype, with a ground storage layer and turbine, examine how solar radiation and turbine pressure drop affect airflow, heat transfer, power output and losses. With 600 W/m2 of radiation and an 80% efficient turbine, output reaches about 120 kW. The largest losses come from the air leaving the chimney top and from the collector canopy.

Summary
Simulations of a solar chimney power plant modelled on the Spanish prototype, with a ground storage layer and turbine, examine how solar radiation and turbine pressure drop affect airflow, heat transfer, power output and losses. With 600 W/m² of radiation and an 80% efficient turbine, output reaches about 120 kW. The largest losses come from the air leaving the chimney top and from the collector canopy.
