Project Name : Solar Up Draft Tower
Theme Name : Energy Resource & Conservation
Principal:
Solar tower / Solar Chimney is based on the simple concept of electricity being produced from solar energy. P.V cells do not give considerable output during winters and go useless in the night time. It not only functions on the principal of heating off but also depends on the concepts of exposition differential heat at nights.
Working:
Sunlight penetrates the thermo insulator, important light polymer. This leads to rise in temperature. City in the heat collector and top of tower (20-25o)is exploited and air rises with high velocity thus rotating turbine with high speed.
Co- Generation Uses:
A part of electricity produced by the plant can be used for other co- generation uses –
1. The smoke of factories can be directed through chimney which is fixed with precipitators. This attracts the dust particulars thereby reducing air pollution.
2. The land under the tower can be reclaimed by turning it into a green house which can be employed for large production during winters.
3. Sea water desalination can be done as due to heat water under the tower may evaporate thus gaining water that is desalinated and resolving water scarcity.
