INTRODUCTION
It is a technology of electric power generation using solar energy by employing basic physics
that
when air is heated it rises.
The created updraft can be used to turn a turbine placed at an appropriate position within a
tall chimney to generate electricity
INTRODUCTION
At present, a number of energy sources are utilized on a large scale such as: coil, oil, gas
and nuclear.
Continuation of the use of fossil fuels is set to face multiple challenges namely: depletion
of fossil fuels reserves, global warming and other environmental concerns and continuing
fuel price rise.
For these reasons, the existing sources of conventional energy may not be adequate to
meet the ever increasing energy demand
WORKING
A Solar Updraft Tower converts solar radiation into electricity
by combining three well-known principles: the greenhouse
effect, the tower and wind turbines in a novel way.
Hot air is produced by the sun under a large glass roof .
Direct and diffuse solar radiation strikes the glass roof,
where specific fractions of the energy are reflected,
absorbed and transmitted
WORKING
Through the mechanism of natural convection, the warm
ground surface heats the adjacent air, causing it to rise.
The buoyant air rises up into the chimney of the plant,
thereby drawing in more air at the collector perimeter
and thus initiating forced convection which heats the
collector air more rapidly
WORKING
The heated air travels up the chimney, where it cools through the
chimney walls. The chimney converts heat into kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy of the air turns the turbine blades which in turn
drive the
generator(s)
