Abstract

One of the ways to generate power from the solar energy is to use the solar chimney technology. In the present study, by examining the weather map of Iran and using GIS software for selecting the appropriate area for the power plant site, the four physical models proposed studied for the solar chimney. This study is a numerical simulation (by MATLAB) regarding four physical models of solar chimneys in the city of Bam site, in Kerman province. The difference between the four mentioned models of the solar chimney is in storage system and the use of air diffuser. The behaviors of all four models were examined according to the valid meteorological information on a specific day from the target site. According to the results of the simulation, which includes airflow speed in several internal parts of the chimney and the production capacity of each of the mentioned models, the best and most proper model of solar chimney can be selected for the studies site and a proper estimation of the final production can be obtained.
