Design of a Compost Waste Heat to Energy Solar Chimney Power Plant

摘要

This paper presents the design of a Compost Waste Heat to Energy Recovery Hybrid Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP). The project illustrates the concept of using compost waste heat to power generators housed in the SCPP. The design of the Hybrid Compost Waste Heat to Energy Recovery Hybrid Solar Chimney Power Plant is based on a full-scale 24 acre facility which can accommodate a community waste disposal needs. This paper presents the design and fabrication of the SCPP, followed by a building construction estimate for the project, and concludes with an economic analysis of the SCPP, factoring in the renewable energy, composting, recycling (waste management) and infra-structure sustainability aspects of the project. The proposed 24 acre hybrid SCPP facility has the potential of generating 100 MW with 83 M$ in revenue annually. The engineering construction cost estimate for fabrication of the SCPP is found to be 156 M$. The total cost per unit of energy produced for the SCPP is 0.62 US $ / kWh (0.56 € / kWh).
