Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model for balancing energy and power generation in a solar chimney power plant has been developed. Using this mathematical model, the amount of power produced by a solar chimney power plant, have been investigated. The governing equations written power plants, Then Equations, using simulated annealing algorithm and particle swarm optimization were solved. To validate the model, the data contained in the reference paper is used. The results of this study show, The thermal efficiency of the solar chimney power plant, a small number. Proportion Power produced to the total energy for the reference data, approximately 0.6 percent. Most heat transfer occurs between the ground and the roof of the plant. By changing the geometry of power plant, Power, significant changes. According to energy balance, heat input is more increased temperature surfaces, As a result, waste of energy. In this method, using optimization algorithms, Speed solution Increases. And by increasing the number of Iteration the algorithm, Accuracy of the results will improve.
