Summary
Two hybrid versions of a solar chimney power plant are modelled: one fitted with see-through photovoltaic cells, the other also performing saline water desalination. After validation against experimental data, the desalination variant shows the highest collector and overall efficiency. Once optimized, it could raise the Manzanares pilot plant's efficiency by about 72%, against about 56% for the PV-only design.
