Summary

Proposes flue-gas waste heat routed through ducts beneath the collector of a solar chimney power plant to support round-the-clock operation, modelled with ANSYS. At 1000 W/m² irradiance, the added heat raised power output from about 50 to 66 kW, with efficiency and updraft velocity also improving, while cooling the exhausted flue gases.
