The space-saving, long operating, and cheap vortex plants of large power intensively combine solar, either waste and secondary, or geothermal heating of slightly pressured water with use of wind, giving competitive electricity and water production without firing of fuel, extensive convection collector, mechanical sucking of free air, over stressed moving parts of vortex tower, or large number of air turbines. The embodiment of plants due to different climate and regime include simplified and compacted vortex tower with staged system of forcing and controlling jets of saturated steam along vortex channel, flow-through electric generator with rotated drum or magnetic concentrators, and regime storage at use of waste or geothermal heat, and at use of solar heat under mainly positive ambient temperatures. For starting up and flexible operation during cold winter at absence of wind, solar radiation and hot free air, a compacted off-seasonal storage of high heat density is used for solar heating, storing and flashing of water, and heating and acceleration of saturated steam and wind or sucked air supplying kinetic energy and heat into vortex tower.
