Numerical performance modelling of solar chimney power plants: Influence of chimney height for a pilot plant in Manzanares, Spain Erdem Cuce; Harun Sen; Pınar Mert Cuce A three-dimensional axisymmetric CFD model of the Manzanares pilot solar chimney, checked against on-site measurements and using solar ray tracing with a non-grey radiation model, is used to compare five chimney heights. Taller chimneys raise airflow exponentially and power output roughly linearly while reducing collector heating; a 500 m chimney would give about 134 kW at 0.67% overall efficiency.

Summary
A three-dimensional axisymmetric CFD model of the Manzanares pilot solar chimney, checked against on-site measurements and using solar ray tracing with a non-grey radiation model, is used to compare five chimney heights. Taller chimneys raise airflow exponentially and power output roughly linearly while reducing collector heating; a 500 m chimney would give about 134 kW at 0.67% overall efficiency.
