Solar chimney power plants differ from other renewable energy technologies because thermal and momentum effects result in 24-h electricity generation. However, they are influenced by a wide range of design, geometrical and operational parameters, and environmental conditions. Basically, all those ways can be divided into two basic categories: transformed for use elsewhere or utilized directly – direct – and involving more han one transformation to reach a usable form – indirect. The created. . Abstract-The present paper presents an overview of the main characteristics of a novel kind of solar thermal application called solar chimney power plant. The experimental setup included a solar collector with a 12 m diameter and an 8 m tall chimney, along with multi-layered and copper pipes. .
