Integration of the Manzanares Solar Chimney Power Plants in Towers: Collector and Building Height Configuration

Article scientifique 2025 Anglais

Résumé

Solar Chimney Power Plants (SCPP) are renewable electricity production systems that use greenhouse and wind turbine technologies. Due to their large dimensions, they are only installed in rural areas. A few studies have addressed the use of SCPP in urban areas, as independent systems. This research aims to integrate the chimneys into high-rise buildings, utilizing the roof as a solar collector, in order to minimize the necessary land area. The impact of building height and collector configuration on the system outputs were investigated using 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Ansys fluent analysis. The results reveal that the highest total energy production can be achieved by installing the turbines both at the top and bottom of the chimney, on a building of 140 m height. In this setting the energy production is 6.62 kW at the top and 26.81 kW at the bottom, resulting in a total of 33.47 kW. This study highlights the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in energy generation systems in high-rise buildings.
