Abstracts: Energy crisis and environmental problems require a new sustainable energy supply option that uses renewable energies and is economic at the same time. Solar updraft tower is a robust green energy plant that produces electricity based on relatively simple but proven method of harnessing the energy of a sun to an air collector, which acts as a greenhouse heat exchanger. It is a solar thermal power plant consisting of an air collector, a central updraft tower for generating solar induced convective flow and a turbine unit driven by a heat transfer fluid, HTF entrapped beneath the green house to produce electricity. This project describes about why to focus on renewable sources, study of solar tower with its model data. The practical and social applications of this technology. Therefore by considering the present condition of the depleting energy sources, the solar tower technology will be more beneficial in the future.
