Comparison between PV farm, solar chimney and CSP tower in Lebanon: Economical study for 100 MW power plant

This paper compares three types of technologies (Solar Chimney, CSP Tower, and PV farm) which produce electricity from the same source of energy: the Sun. It is treated for the Lebanese case and it compares the tariffs of each technology with the existing tariffs in Lebanon, the cost of each technology, and other parameters which are important to be considered while choosing any technology in order to be built. It is considered that all three technologies should have the same location of construction. This paper gives an idea about what technology is better than other technologies for the Lebanese case.

Comparison between PV farms, solar chimneys and CSP towers in Lebanon: Influence of temperature and solar irradiance on the output power

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.
