Abstract |
A solar chimney power plant is a type of solar thermal technology that utilizes the heat generated by a solar collector to convert solar energy into electrical power. A steady state CFD investigation through a solar chimney power plant system was conducted. A power plant with the geometry parameters of a Spanish prototype was modeled. The k-ε turbulence and the radiative transfer equations were solved. To simulate radiation effects from the sun’s rays, a solar load model was employed. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics through the prototype power plant were examined in two different conditions; corresponding to no-load condition and during turbine operation. Keywords: Solar chimney power plant, Spanish prototype, CFD. | |||||||||
