چکیده
This study examines the performance improvement of Solar Chimneys Power Plants (SCPPs) through optimized turbine design using three-dimensional numerical simulation. The research contributes to ongoing efforts to advance clean and advanced renewable-energy systems intended to limit reliance on traditional fossil fuels. A simplified 3D computational model of an SCPP, based on the Manzanares prototype, was developed and analyzed in ANSYS Fluent to evaluate three radial turbine configurations. The designs incorporate exit angles of 72.5°, 75°, and 78.5°, coupled with appropriate blade numbers of 12, 14, and 16, respectively. The numerical results reveal that the 14-blade configuration (Design B) achieves the highest performance, generating 70.6 kW of power representing a 43.9% improvement over the reference Manzanares model (49.06 kW), while maintaining stable airflow and thermodynamic characteristics. The obtained results emphasize the critical role of turbine geometry on SCPP efficiency and further demonstrate the system’s potential as a reliable and sustainable renewable energy solution, particularly for regions with strong solar resources.
