Summary

A small experimental solar chimney with a turbine, built at Trakya University in Turkey, was monitored to relate airflow, heating of the air and turbine output. Managing the airflow lets the system track its maximum power point, and an airflow controller can raise output by up to about 50%, with power varying between roughly 30 and 60 W.
