Tiivistelmä
The aim of this work is to study and to experiment a new electric power plant to avoid the greenhouse effect. This power plant is based on the conversion of thermal solar energy into wind energy.
The solar tower is a project developed originally by the Australian company Enviromision and it consists of building a 1000 m high chimney for 50 m diameters in the middle of a 20 km2 greenhouse. The solar towers operate on the simple principle of hot air rises; the movement of rising hot air is used to drive turbines to generate electricity.
The main project was to build and to test a lab-scale tower ST-01 (10m) for the Dutch company PROCES Groningen. And then, using the calculation done on the ST-01 to scale up to a bigger solar tower ST-03 (30m) at the Hanzehogeschool, Groningen (Netherlands).
