This study analyzes the feasibility of implementing an integrated system for electricity and freshwater production, focusing on solar chimney technology as its main pillar. A preliminary study based on literature is carried out to analyze electrical generation and the heat transfer to the storage system of the solar chimney. In addition, a seawater thermal desalination is incorporated with the idea to increase the overall efficiency of the solar chimney. Furthermore, in order to address electricity and freshwater demand without interruption, a hydro-storage system with a water turbine is integrated. As a result, implementing an integrated system with a solar chimney as its main source of energy, the overall energy efficiency is obtained to be 8.4%, which is substantially higher than a single solar chimney.

本研究分析了以太阳烟囱技术为主要支柱的电力和淡水生产集成系统的实施可行性。进行了基于文献的初步研究，以分析发电量和将热量传递到太阳能烟囱的存储系统。另外，海水热脱盐与增加太阳能烟囱的整体效率的想法结合在一起。此外，为了不间断地满足电力和淡水需求，集成了带水轮机的蓄水系统。结果，实施以太阳能烟囱为主要能源的集成系统，整体能源效率为8.4％，大大高于单个太阳能烟囱。
