2. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

   The solar updraft tower (SUT) is a design concept for a renewable-energy power plant for generating electricity from low temperature solar heat. Sunshine heats the air beneath a very wide greenhouse-like roofed collector structure surrounding the central base of a very tall chimney tower. The resulting convection causes a hot air updraft in the ...

   The local irradiance near the area is about 7.4 kWh/m 2 /day [49] [50] (annual average) for a total solar energy flow in the visible spectrum of 2.717 MWh/m 2 yearly. One heliostat mirror is a 75.6 square feet (7.02 m 2 ) reflecting surface, [ 51 ] giving a total of 151.2 square feet (14.05 m 2 ) per heliostat.
