Thermo-Economic Investigation of the Hybrid Wind Supercharging Solar Chimney Power Generation System

Summary

Assesses the technical and economic feasibility of a solar chimney power plant fitted with a wind supercharging device and flue gas heat recovery, sited in western Rajasthan, India. A thermo-economic model using annual weather and wind data, with sensitivity analysis on key parameters, estimates yearly electricity output and a levelized cost near Rs 2.5 per kWh, comparable to other Indian generation technologies.
