Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the solar chimney performance
theoretically (techno-economic). A mathematical model was developed to
estimate the following parameter: Power output, Pressure drop across the
turbine, the max chimney height, Airflow temperature, and the overall
efficiency of solar chimney. The mathematical model was validated with
experimental data from the prototype in Manzanares power. It can be concluded
that the differential pressure of collector-chimney transition section in the
system, is increase with the increase of solar radiation intensity. The
specific system costs are between 2000 Eur/kW and 5000 Eur/kW depending on
the system size, system concept and storage size. Hence, a 50 MWe solar
thermal power plant will cost 100-250 Eur million. At very good sites,
today?s solar thermal power plants can generate electricity in the range of
0.15 Eur/kWh, and series production could soon bring down these costs below
0.10 Eur /kWh.
