Solar chimneys are popular systems for their simple structures and clean energy generation. Thanks to its semi-permeable structure, the collector, one of the system’s basic elements, transfers solar radiation to the system. As a result of the heating of the system air under the collector by the solar radiation passing through the collector, it is directed to the high chimney in the collector centre. During the upward movement of the system air, it converts its energy into electricity via a turbine. Due to its large structure, estimating the amount of energy entering the collector system creates a great cost. The ideal size for the collector is therefore important. This study offers a recommendation for the ideal collector size for the pilot plant in Manzanares in terms of collector size and power output. While 59 kW power output is obtained with the system with a collector radius of 122 m in the reference case, it is observed that the power output increases by 78% when the collector radius is increased to 170 m and the collector area is doubled. The ratio of the ideal collector radius to the reference size for the pilot plant should be in the range of 1–1.5.

“…The suggested system can produce around 7.92136 ton/h of distillate water hourly. Mendez and Bicer [57] analysed a thermodynamically desalination plant that utilizes a solar chimney combined with water to generate electricity and freshwater. This resulted in the enhancement of performance by 8.4 %.…”

“…In this regard, solar energy is known as a promising alternative source to cope with energy and water shortage because of its clean, sustainable, and long-term superiority which could be used for generating electricity and desalinating water. [1] Regarding this point, one of the underdeveloping technologies to achieve power production from clean energies is the solar chimney power plant (SCPP), proposed for the first time by Cabanyes. [2] As shown in Figure 1, it involves a transparent canopy over a collector chamber, a chimney, and the power generation unit installed at the chimney base.…”

The integrated solar chimney and solar still system offers a promising approach for simultaneous water and electricity production. However, there have been only few experimental studies conducted on this combined design. In this regard, a solar chimney with 12 m height and 3.4 m collector diameter is constructed and accompanied with solar stills, installed inside the collector. The maximum velocity at the chimney's inlet for the combined system reaches near 2 m s−1, while it is 0.3 m s−1 smaller than the conventional arrangement. The maximum water production is 861 g h−1 which is attained in the evening hours. In the normal solar chimney without solar stills, air temperature inside the collector reaches its peak at 64 °C when solar radiation is maximum. While in the integrated system, this value is 59 °C which reaches with 2 h delay due to water heat storage. In addition, it is found that the effect of height of vapor space inside the basin can be negligible while the lower water depth in the basin provides higher water production.
