Structural Design of the KAUST Solar Tower
Structures Congress 2009, 2009As energy demands on society have become a prominent global issue, a family of structures have emerged that are designed to extract positive energy returns through interaction with the natural environments in which they are placed. Examples of such structures include wind turbines, solar towers, and solar collection systems. Environmentally interactive

Aplanatic beam-down solar towers
Nonimaging Optics: Efficient Design for Illumination and Solar Concentration XVI, 2019The pragmatic virtues of ground-level receivers in solar towers have long been recognized, but the associated beam-down optics reduce concentration, resulting in higher heat loss and cost, or the need for an actively-cooled tertiary concentrator that incurs additional optical losses.

Dual-receiver concept for solar towers
Solar Energy, 2006A new dual receiver concept improves the adaptation of the central receiver to the steam cycle in a solar thermal power plant. By combination of an open volumetric air heater with a tubular evaporator section the dual receiver concept profits from the advantages of these two basic concepts while their characteristic problems are avoided.

Mathematical Modelling of Solar Updraft Tower
2019Solar updraft tower power plant is a way to harness energy from the sun. It is a simple concept which requires low maintenance and utilises land that is already being used for growing plants, and generates power from it. A prototype plant was setup in Manzanares, Spain. Numerical analysis on power generation is performed for a similar plant assuming it

Tower reflector for solar power plant
Solar Energy, 1976A method is proposed for transfering the energy from the top of the tower to the power plant at the bottom of the tower by using a reflector. Preliminary estimates appear favorable, and it is recommended that a detailed systems analysis be performed comparing the tower reflector with the power tower. (WDM)
