Abstract: | The paper addresses the structural challenges of ultra-high towers in Solar Updraft Power Plants. Beside them, the breakthrough is in the concept of the entire plant simulation, modelled as an interaction of multi-physical processes that result in a highly non-linear system of equations. |
