Abstract

A solar tower (1) comprises a solar radiation receiver (4) and a gas turbine engine (2). The gas turbine engine (2) is vertically arranged within the tower and comprises in downward flow series: - a compressor (3) for compressing ambient air (15) drawn through at least one air inlet at an upper end of the tower, - a heating arrangement (4) for heating compressed air from the compressor, the solar radiation receiver comprises at least part of the heating arrangement, and - a turbine (5) for extracting work from the heated compressed air. The gas turbine engine (2) is integrally formed with the solar tower (1) and the gas heating arrangement of the gas turbine engine (2) is integrally formed with the solar radiation receiver (4).
