Floating tower projects in solar chimney power plant are emerging with considerable interest. However, high chimney tower might be under great pressure from wind blow. Use of flexible fabric material for the tower might reduce the constraint on the chimney and reduce the cost. The present work is devoted to the study of the solar tower inclination impact on the efficiency of the solar chimney power plant (SCPP). The considered inclination angles of the tower are 15°, 22°, and 30°. In addition, waterbed is laid down on the ground of the collector to store heat. Results showed that a tower inclination of up to 22° might improve the performance of the SCPP. The extra heat storage also made a better use of the energy. This improved the power produced from sunset to sunrise with a lower entropy generation, mainly in the configuration with a solar tower inclination between 15° and 22°.

斜塔角度和蓄热介质对柔性太阳能烟囱发电性能的影响

太阳能烟囱发电厂的浮塔项目正引起人们极大的兴趣。然而，高烟囱塔可能会受到风吹的巨大压力。为塔使用柔性织物材料可能会减少对烟囱的限制并降低成本。目前的工作致力于研究太阳能塔倾斜对太阳能烟囱发电厂 (SCPP) 效率的影响。考虑的塔架倾角为 15°、22°和 30°。此外，在集热器的地面上铺设水床以储存热量。结果表明，高达 22° 的塔倾角可能会提高 SCPP 的性能。额外的热量储存也更好地利用了能源。这提高了从日落到日出产生的能量，熵值较低，
