Performance analysis of sloped solar chimney power plants in the southwestern region of Iran

Summary

Assesses how sloped solar chimney power plants could supply electricity to villages in southwestern Iran, using a mathematical model applied to five sites along the Persian Gulf. Monthly air mass flow, collector efficiency and overall efficiency were evaluated, with predicted electrical output between roughly 3 and 5.9 MW depending on location and season.
