INTRODUCTION
 The floating solar chimney technology is the source
of renewable energy for the present and future world.

 It is a simple technology that makes use of solar


updraft tower in which the air turbines are rotated by
the dynamic energy(buoyancy) of the up drafting
warm air in the floating chimney combined with
greenhouse.

 This green technology is cost efficient, low


maintenance, highly safe, agriculturally productive,
with high efficiency of power production
OVERVIEW
 German engineer Prof. Dr. Ing. Jorg Schlaigh, built a
working model of a solar chimney power plant in
1982 in Spain.

 Annually 100MW power can be produced and it can


operate throughout the year , 24 hours a day.

 In comparison with concrete solar chimneys these


floating chimneys are with high efficiency and low
cost.
PARTS UNDER OPERATION AND
THE PRINCIPLE
 THE GREENHOUSE
 THE FLOATING SOLAR
CHIMNEY
 THE TURBO
GENERATOR
SOLAR –AERO ELECTRIC POWER
PLANT
 SAEP is similar to Hydro
Electric Power Plant as
water turbines convert
dynamic energy (due to
gravity) to rotational energy
similarly in SAEP the
dynamic energy (due to
buoyancy) is converted to
rotational energy.

 In both of these power


plants power output is
proportional to height.
WHY FLOATING CHIMNEY?
 In order to build
efficient and cheap
SAEP and less
expensive than concrete
solar towers
 Floating solar chimneys
are lighter than air
structures that can be up
to 3 km providing
efficient air up draft.
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC
BENEFITS
 Reduce production of
900,000 tons of
greenhouse gases
annually.
 Agriculture is
promoted
 Condensation at night
provides moisture to
soil
TECHNICAL ISSUES
 Floating SAEP must be
free from heavy winds.

 Large land area required


not suitable for area
with high cost / acre

 Corrosion of materials
IS IT FEASIBLE?
 Easily available parts in commercial market and can
be installed anywhere

 Green technology that overcomes the present energy


crisis and global warming

 Renewable energy source and efficient electricity


production
CONCLUSION
 This technology has the potential to replace all the
energy activities related to fossil fuelled activities and
to eliminate energy crisis

 We should start building floating solar chimneys to


bring a solution to global warming and in succeeding
to generate zero emission clean electricity
