Solar chimney power generation and analysis for synthetic system performance of sea water desalinization

Summary

Proposes an integrated plant that combines solar chimney power generation, solar energy storage and seawater desalination by evaporation and condensation, addressing the poor yield of conventional basin stills and the large land area both technologies require. A theoretical analysis suggests the combined system raises overall solar energy and land use efficiency, with notable economic, social and ecological benefits.
