Review of Solar Chimney Power Technology and Its Potentials in Semi-Arid Region of Nigeria G. M. Ngala; A.T. Sulaiman; I. Garba Surveys solar chimney power plants, which pair a solar collector, a tall chimney and a wind turbine, covering their working principle, experimental and theoretical progress, and economics. It then argues that Nigeria's semi-arid north suits the technology, citing up to 9 daily sunshine hours, about 7 kWh/m2 of daily irradiation and abundant flat land.

Summary
Surveys solar chimney power plants, which pair a solar collector, a tall chimney and a wind turbine, covering their working principle, experimental and theoretical progress, and economics. It then argues that Nigeria's semi-arid north suits the technology, citing up to 9 daily sunshine hours, about 7 kWh/m² of daily irradiation and abundant flat land.
