Technology, design, and performance of solar chimney power plants: An updated and thorough review

Summary

Survey of solar chimney power plant research covering theoretical analysis, numerical modelling, design, materials, performance assessment and optimisation methods, drawing on both experimental and simulation work. Particular attention goes to hybrid plants that pair solar chimneys with other renewable energy sources, and the authors outline where the field currently stands and where it may head.
