In St. Louis, Arizona, USA, a groundbreaking energy project has recently been approved to construct a power generation tower developed by Solar Wind Energy Tower. This innovative system combines solar and wind energy technologies to generate clean electricity using only sunlight, water, and natural wind gradients. Unlike traditional solar or wind farms that rely on intermittent weather conditions, this tower can operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making it a reliable solution for energy shortages.
Located in a hot and arid region, the tower features a hollow cylindrical structure with an open top that allows hot, dry air to enter. A water spray system is installed nearby, pumping water upward to create a fine mist at the tower’s summit. As the water evaporates upon contact with the dry air, the surrounding air cools rapidly, increasing its density and creating a powerful downward airflow that can reach speeds of up to 50 mph.
This strong vertical air current is channeled into multiple wind tunnels positioned around the base of the tower. Inside each tunnel, wind turbines are installed to convert the airflow into electricity. Each wind tunnel is equipped with a dedicated generator room containing large-scale power generation systems driven by specialized mechanisms. Because evaporation occurs continuously, even during cloudy or nighttime conditions, the tower ensures a steady supply of clean energy throughout the year.
One of the key benefits of this technology is that it generates its own internal wind from solar heat, making it ideal for regions with weak or inconsistent wind patterns. In areas with stronger winds, vertical guide vanes can be added to the tower’s surface to enhance wind capture and improve energy output. These dual strategies help maximize renewable energy use and increase overall efficiency, addressing the limitations of traditional solar and wind power plants.
The tower is expected to have an hourly capacity of 1,250 megawatt-hours. With a capacity factor of 0.6, the actual output per hour would be around 750 megawatt-hours. Approximately 18.5% of this energy is used for internal operations, such as pumping water to the top of the tower. This leaves about 600 MWh available for sale to the local power grid. Although performance may decrease slightly in winter due to lower evaporation rates, the annual average remains highly efficient.
According to a report by the Physicist Organization Network on May 5, this solar wind tower is now the first approved project in the U.S., planned for a 600-acre site near St. Louis, Mexico. It is set to begin operations by 2018, serving as a vital public infrastructure and substation. The city has committed to providing the necessary water supply for the tower and has signed a long-term commercial agreement lasting at least 50 years. This project marks a significant step forward in sustainable energy innovation.
