There is a solar chimney power plant system supported by southern sloped mountain for high latitudes. The sloped collector is built at suitable mountain hills, which also functions as a chimney. Then a short vertical chimney is added to install the vertical axis air turbine. Deduce and analysis the power and efficiency of the system. The result indicates that for northern latitude area near 35 degrees, the power and efficiency of the solar chimney power plant system with a appropriate sloped angle collector are higher than the solar chimney power plant system with a horizontal collector, besides, the system scale is bigger, the gap is more larger. Furthermore, the system can appropriately reduce the height of vertical chimney and construction problems.

The energy consumption on global scale is continuously increasing, resulting in rapid use of energy resources available. Solar chimney power generation technology hence began to get growing attention as its basic model needs no depleting resources like fossil fuels for its functioning but only uses sunlight and air as a medium. It takes the advantage of the chimney effect and the temperature difference in the collector that produces negative pressure to cause the airflow in the system, converting solar energy into mechanical energy in order to drive the air turbine generator situated at the base of the chimney. Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) brings together the solar thermal technology, thermal storage technology, chimney technology and air turbine power generation technology. However, studies have shown that even if the chimney is as high as 1000 m, the efficiency achievable is only around 3%. Hence, this review paper intents to put together the new technological advancement that aims to improve the efficiency of SCPP.

The three difference structural heat storage devices are designed used paraffin as phase change heat storage materials for the chimney power plant system with vertical collector, and the FLUENT software is used to study the heat storing and releasing capacity of four different structural heat storage devices. The results are shown that: in the same case, The heat storage and heat release abilities of the devices with different surfaces are studied through numerical simulation, the results show that: the heat storage ability of the device with fins is much better than that of flat-plate device, and the heat storage ability of the device with longitudinal fins is a little better than that of the device with lateral fins. So for the solar chimney power plant system with vertical collector, the heat storage device with longitudinal fins can be chosen in consideration of the flow resistance and heat transfer ability. These results are the theoretical basis for the actual construction of the solar chimney power plant system with vertical collector.
