摘要
A pilot experimental solar chimney thermal power generating equipment was set up in China. A simulation study was carried out to investigate the performance of the power generating system based on a developed mathematical model. The simulated power outputs in steady state were obtained for different global solar radiation intensity, collector area and chimney height. By intercomparison, it is found that the simulated power outputs are basically in agreement with the results calculated with the measurements, which validates the mathematical model of the solar chimney thermal power generating system. Furthermore, based on the simulation and the specific construction costs at a specific site, the optimum combination of chimney and collector dimensions can be selected for a required electric power output.
