Thermodynamic analysis of power generation from solar chimney

In the present study, the most important parameters that affect the performance of a solar chimney power plant are investigated. The plant has a collector area of 7000 m diameter and a tower of 1000 m height. Under certain weather conditions, the results obtained show that the maximum electrical power of this plant can be reached in June and can be up to 119 MW. This amount of electrical power, which depends on the dimensions of the plant, is able to provide electricity for more than 150,000 households, which makes this type of plants vital for countries like Lebanon.
