Abstract
A solar chimney system for power production at high latitudes has been designed and its performance has been evaluated.
A mathematical model and a code on MATLAB platform have been developed based on monthly average meteorological
data and thermodynamic cycle. The thermal performance of a 5 MW nominal power production plant at
three locations in Canada, namely Ottawa, Winnipeg and Edmonton, is studied. The sloped collector field is built at
suitable mountain hills, which also functions as a chimney. Then a short vertical chimney is added to install the vertical
axis air turbine. The results showed that solar chimney power plants at high latitudes may have satisfactory thermal
performance and produce as much as 85% of the same plants in southern locations with horizontal collector field.
The overall thermal performance of these plants is a little less than 0.5%.
