“…Moreover, a list of high-power solar power plants in Fars is presented in Table 3. Renewable energy researchers in Fars are trying to show the people and the government the potential of converting solar energy into electricity [145][146][147]. In other provinces such as Isfahan, Tehran, Yazd, Hamedan (Figure 12c), and Khuzestan, a large solar power plant with a maximum capacity of 20 MW has been built.…”

The world’s electricity generation has increased with renewable energy technologies such as solar (solar power plant), wind energy (wind turbines), heat energy, and even ocean waves. Iran is in the best condition to receive solar radiation due to its proximity to the equator (25.2969° N). In 2020, Iran was able to supply only 900 MW (about 480 solar power plants and 420 MW home solar power plants) of its electricity demand from solar energy, which is very low compared to the global average. Yazd, Fars, and Kerman provinces are in the top ranks of Iran, with the production of approximately 68, 58, and 47 MW using solar energy, respectively. Iran also has a large area of vacant land for the construction of solar power plants. In this article, the amount of electricity generation using solar energy in Iran is studied. In addition, the construction of a 10 MW power plant in the city of Sirjan is economically and technically analyzed. The results show that with US$16.14 million, a solar power plant can be built in the Sirjan region, and the initial capital will be returned in about four years. The results obtained using Homer software show that the highest maximum power generation is in July.

“…A thermal design and simulation of the parabolic through solar collector has been developed with Matlab software (Azizian et al, 2002 andAzizian et al, 2011). The developed software takes some primary data into account such as collector rim angle, optical properties of the mirror like its thickness and reflectance coefficient, errors in construction and installation of the collector, temperature of inlet and outlet of oil from the collector, temperature rise in the collector, date and day of design and its relevant data such as cloud factor, wind speed and ambient temperature, geographical location of the design point and length of the collector (Azizian et al, 2011).…”

Solar energy has many benefits including environmental protection, economic growth, job creation, and diversity of fuel supply. Solar energy technologies can be deployed rapidly, and have the potential for global technology transfer and innovation. Various data reveals the potential of concentrated solar technologies for the electricity production. With global growing energy demand and green-house gas emission, concentrating solar power is considered as one of the promising options and has invited wide attention. In this work, a model for a 30 MW parabolic trough solar power plant system was developed for 31 different locations in Brazil, using TRNSYS simulation software, and TESS and STEC libraries. The power system consists of a parabolic trough solar collector loop connected to a power block by a series of heat exchangers. The solar collector loop consists of a field of parabolic trough collectors, stratified thermal storage tank, pump and heat exchangers to drive the power block and uses Therminol VP1 as heat transfer fluid. The results shows that the cities of Recife (PE), Fortaleza (CE), Belterra (PA), Salvador (BA) and Petrolina (PE) stand out for their high monthly values of direct normal irradiation and, resulting the highest production of energy by the same configuration of Solar Central Power Plant.

“…A power plant consisting of a solar collector and a chimney can work as a solar thermal power plant [6,7,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], which first converts solar energy into thermal energy in the solar collector to further convert it into kinetic energy in the chimney, with final electricity generation by applying a wind turbine and generator [14,16,26]. The construction of such a solar chimney may depend on the shape and dimensions of both the collector and chimneys and their canopy profiles [10,27].…”

In this, paper the authors propose a new simplified method of solving the problem of air flow through a solar chimney system using a classical system of equations for the principles of conservation (momentum, mass, and energy), as well as a general solution to research the problem using similarity theory. The method presented in this paper allows one to design a solar chimney. The theoretical analysis was compared with experimental studies on existing solar towers. The experimental and theoretical studies were satisfactorily consistent. For clarity, the phenomenon of heat flow in the solar chimney was described using dimensionless numbers, such as the Reynolds, Grashof, Galileo, Biot, and Prandtl numbers. In the equations for the dimensionless geometric parameters, the ratios of the collector radius to the thickness gap, height, and chimney radius were used. The method used to test the system of equations allows us to analyse various solar collectors easily. In the scientific literature, there is a lack of a simple calculation method to use in engineering practice, suitable for each type of solar chimney independent of dimensions and construction parameters.
