Abstract

Airturbine is the main output device of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP). Its performance directly affects the effectiveness of the whole system. The influence of the type, structure, layout and parameters of the turbine on the overall effectiveness of SCPP will be the next research focus. This paper briefly summarizes research progress in this area at home and abroad,introducing the history, research methods, and achievements of studies on turbine performance and pointing out future research directions.
