Resolving the Non-Productive Periods of Solar Chimney by Integrating with Waste-to-Energy Plant

Summary

Tackles the night-time output gap of a solar chimney by routing warm air discharged from the condensers of a waste-to-energy facility in Tehran into the tower base beneath the turbine. Three-dimensional CFD of a Manzanares-style plant, run with monthly local weather, predicts continuous output of roughly 20–70 kW, staying near 20 kW even on the hottest, driest night.
