Performance Evaluation of Solar Chimney Power Plants with Bayburt Stone and Basalt on the Ground as Natural Energy Storage Material

This research examines the effect of using Bayburt stone or basalt as an energy storage unit in SCPPs. The low-cost materials on system performance is evaluated. Based Manzanares pilot plant (MPP), a 3D CFD model was created. Geometric parameters were kept constant simulations performed with ANSYS FLUENT engineering commercial software. In addition to DO (discrete coordinates) for radiation model, solar ray-tracing algorithm (SRTA) and RNG k-e turbulence (RNGTM) solved, coupled, outputs evaluated at outdoor temperatures 290 300 K. temperature velocity distributions, well power (PO) by ground material, are compared different conditions. It understood that use both contributes similar rate can be used economically. noticed gives PO approximately 41,636 kW intensity 800 W/m2 seen affects rise plant, which higher
