Solar energy becomes the fitting alternative source for carbon-free power generation. Utilizing a solar updraft tower (SUT) plant for power generation applications has been …
A numerical study is carried out meticulously to scrutinize the impact of different shapes of chimneys like circular (outer dia, dc), convergent (outer dia, 0.5dc), divergent (outer dia …
The present study investigates the use of a stair-shaped ground surface of a chimney-based solar thermal power plant (SCPP). The stair-shaped absorber is implemented to augment …
Consistent power generation using renewable energies has always been a problem, so this study aims to resolve this issue by incorporating a solar/geothermal chimney. Accordingly, a …
This paper examines the possibility of integrating a photovoltaic (PV) module in a hybrid solar chimney power plant (HSCPP). Since HSCPP is a greenhouse thermal buoyancy …
This study aims to optimize the power generation of a conventional Manzanares solar chimney (SC) plant through strategic modifications to the collector inlet height, chimney …
