Abstract
Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) is a large scale setup designed for
generating green power from the thermal solar energy. In this work, a theoretical SCPP
model was developed to study the impact of the main design parameters on the SCPP
performance. Based on the Manzanares prototype, the proposed model was verified and
validated with the experimental data. The thermodynamic characteristics of the SCPP
were analyzed by varying the chimney height, the chimney radius and the collector
radius. Results show that the chimney height presents an important effect of the air
flow behavior. Otherwise, the proposed model has a good agreement to predict the
SCPP performance.
