Numerical Study of the Solar Chimney Power Plant Performance in the Region of M’Sila-Algeria

Summary

Fluent CFD simulations assess whether a solar chimney power plant with dimensions similar to the Manzanares prototype could be built near M'Sila, Algeria, a region with very high solar resource. The modelled plant would generate roughly 39–72 kW, enough to supply tens of thousands of residents, and the authors consider the outcome encouraging.
