6 FAQs about [Solar thermal power chimney power tower]
How do solar chimney power plants work?
Solar chimney power plants are simple thermal power plants that can convert solar energy to thermal energy in the collector and transform it to mechanical energy in a turbine. The received radiant energy from the collector is converted into thermal energy where the air flows through the collector and chimney.
Can a solar chimney power plant increase the temperature of air?
They indicated to utilize the excess heat from the nuclear power plant and use it in the collector of the solar chimney power plant to increase the temperature of the air within it. They used CFD model and thermal analysis to estimate the overplus heat from the nuclear power plant.
How efficient is a solar chimney power plant?
In solar chimney power plants, the collector is the main element that transfers solar energy to the system. Therefore, the efficiency of the collector is significant. Although the collector’s efficiency is influenced by its geometric parameters, it depends on the collector’s material and harvested solar radiation.
Does thermal energy storage affect solar chimney power plant?
Amudam and Chandramohan [ 41] studied the effect of the thermal energy storage system on the solar chimney power plant. They analyzed some parameters such as velocity, pressure, temperature and density for two models which included the system with and without the thermal storage facility.
What is solar chimney technology?
Solar chimney technology is one of the solar energy harvesting techniques in the production of solar power where it absorbs direct-diffused and dispersed solar radiation, and part of this energy is converted into electrical power and reduces greenhouse effect [ 7 ].
How to design a solar chimney power plant?
They demonstrated that the diameter and height of the chimney are the most important factors in the design of solar chimney power plant. Many researchers investigated the size and angel of the chimney and collector. It is better to suggest some algorithm optimization like PSO, MDO and hybrid methods to improve the power plant.
