China Preface The field of renewable and sustainable energy is changing rapidly worldwide, and various technologies concerning energy saving and renewable energy utilization are constantly being reported. Further, the widespread use of solar energy, as an alternate and nondepletable resource for agriculture and industry as well as other applications, is dependent on the development of solar systems which possess the reliability, performance, and economic characteristics that compare favorably with the conventional systems. The solar chimney power plant system (SCPPS) or solar updraft power plant system (SUPPS), which is composed of the solar collector, the chimney, and the turbine, has been investigated all over the world since the German researcher Professor Jo¨rg Schlaich made the brainchild in the 1970s. The SCPPS, due to its attractive advantages of being easier to design, more convenient to draw materials, higher operational reliability, fewer running components, more convenient maintenance and overhaul, lower maintenance expense, no environmental contamination, continuous stable running, and longer operational life span, has excited many researchers all over the world, especially in countries with plenty of deserts and arid and “useless” areas. However, the book on SCPPS written by Professor Jo¨rg Schlaich was published 20 years ago, and now it is necessary to update the progress made in the state-of-the-art technologies of SCPPS over recent years worldwide. In this book we are going to reveal the basic mechanisms of fluid flow, heat transfer, power output, energy storage, and operation procedure of the turbine of SCPPS. We hope this book can provide good guidance for developers who are interested inSCPPS. The remaining chapters are arranged in the following way. In chapter “Introduction,” we will present a brief introduction of the background of various solar energy power plant systems and SCPPS, and we will also introduce the recent research developments of SCPPS during the past 20 years. In chapter “Thermodynamic Fundamentals,” basic theory related to thermodynamics and the efficiency of the SCPPS will be introduced. This covers the basic thermodynamic process, Brayton cycle, and exergy analysis of various SCPPSs. Chapter “Helio-Aero-Gravity (HAG) Effect of SC” unveils the Helio-Aero-Gravity (HAG) effect of the SCPPS. In this chapter, how the SCPPS operates will be analyzed in detail dealing with the various parameters including the dimensions and ambient. In chapter “Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer of Solar Chimney Power Plant,” a mathematical model describing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and power output of the SCPPS will be presented, validation of the model by comparing the experimental results of the Spanish prototype will also be presented. Later, optimization of the dimensions of SCPPS based upon the results of power output will be performed. xv xvi Preface Inchapter“Design andSimulation MethodforSCTurbines,”adetaileddesign of the turbine used for SCPPS will be presented, accompanied by a mathematical model and simulation method of the SCPPS coupling the moving part pressure-based wind turbine. In chapter “Energy Storage of Solar Chimney,” a detailed discussion on the energy storage characteristic of SCPPS will be presented. In this chapter, analysis of different materials and layout of energy storage will be shown. In chapter “The Influence of Ambient Crosswind on the Performance of Solar Updraft Power Plant System,” we will introduce the effect of ambient crosswind on the performance of SCPPS. In chapter “Experimental investigation of a solar chimney prototype,” an experimental investigation of an SCPPS setup will be briefly introduced. In chapter “Research Prospects,” the future researchdevelopment willbe discussed.

Since the global energy crisis occurred in the 1970s, the depletion of fossil energy resources has caused economic recession in many developed countries, which affects the sustainable development of the national economy and social stability directly.

There is no doubt that, the overexploitation of fossil fuels has caused worldwide environmental pollution, global warming, melting glaciers in the Arctic region, human diseases increasing, and deterioration in the ecological environment. While developed countries sustain a high standard of living quality and economic development rate by relying on an excessive use of fossil fuels, the developing countries with the vast majority of the population of the world still cannot afford the necessary cost of traditional energy resources. In addition, they are not able to compete with the developed countries in the fight for fossil energy resources. The peopleinthesecountriesarestilllivinginpoverty,backwardness,andlackingelec- tricity and clean water, which in turn leads to the population surge and aggravates poverty.TheprotectionoftheEarth’secologicalenvironment,thesustainableprog- ress of civilization, and the stability of the international community mainly depend ongovernmentregulation and controlaroundthe world,the environment protection senseofthepublic,thesavingandcleanuseoffossilenergyresources,thegeneral- ization and application ofrenewable energy, the well-organizedcontrol onthe pop- ulationgrowthindevelopingcountries,andsoon.
