Abstract:Solar energy systems can be an alternative to fossil fuels and are vital for a sustainable environment. It is promising that solar chimney power plants (SCPPs), which are among the solar energy systems, provide 24-hour power output (PO) and can work integrated with other systems. This study is based on the Manzanares pilot plant (MPP) and demonstrates satisfactory performance with an additional heat source to be integrated into the ground of the system during hours when solar radiation is weak. The performance… Show more
