Summary
A theoretical model of a solar chimney power plant (collector, tower and turbine) is driven by solar radiation and air temperature measured in Chlef, Algeria, from early 2015 to mid-2016 to estimate electricity output. Simulations vary the plant geometry, especially tower height, and show that plant size, ambient temperature and solar flux are the main levers for improving performance.
