  • Abstract
    In this paper, a study about the influence of the variation of temperature and solar irradiation on the output power of a 100MW power plant for different technologies was developed. The proposed technologies are the Solar Chimney, the CSP Tower, and the Photovoltaic Farm. This paper discusses the comparison between the three systems for the Lebanese case. It is assumed that all these technologies have the same climate conditions and the same place of construction.
