The desire for a carbon-free planet has prompted a few experts to advocate for the most abundant energy known to us i.e Solar Energy. There are lots of solar powered energy systems in which the solar chimney power plant has been significant among passive methods in generating carbon free power. There are many attempts taken both experimentally as well as theoretically in developing efficient solar chimneys. This article reviews the major activities carried out in the various topographical regions covering significant research articles. In addition, the survey focuses on experimental research, understanding and recreational works, applications, and analogous work references, all of which are based on a broad range reference. Further, discussion on the research gap in each of the section is included with recommendations for future enhancement of this technology.

“…Other recent studies have looked at various aspects of solar chimney performance. Authors in [16] explored the effect of Corona wind on solar chimneys and authors in [17] optimized a small-scale (3 m height, 3 m collector diameter) pilot solar chimney design. Authors in [18,19] assessed the thermal efficiency of solar chimneys using phase change materials.…”

This work investigates integrating vegetation into solar chimney power plants (SCPPs) using numerical simulations of an SCPP prototype in Spain. A 2D axisymmetric computational fluid dynamics model with radiation heat transfer was employed to evaluate the impact of vegetation beneath the solar collector roof on system performance. Different SCPP configurations were analyzed: a standard design, one with a secondary collector roof, and another with secondary and tertiary collector roofs. Results indicate the secondary and tertiary roof configuration exhibited the highest annual electricity generation capacity of 34-80 kW. While introducing vegetation under the collector appears feasible, it is likely to reduce the overall energy output. In summary, simulations suggest that vegetation influences SCPP operation, decreasing power production, while incorporating multiple collector roofs enhances the generation capacity.

“…Zou and He 8 analyzed the hybrid cooling tower solar chimney system and they found the increment of power transmission 20 times more than conventional SCPP. Nasririvatan et al 9 developed an experimental model of SCPP having 2.5 m chimney height and 2 m collector radius. Experimental results revealed the effect of corona wind on the power output of the SCPP and they found that power output increased five times with the application of corona wind.…”

Energy is essential to sustain life and development and to fulfill daily requirements. A clean source of energy like the Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) is essential or hybridized with conventional sources to meet the demand. Also, it will provide energy during the night and it will reduce the need and expense of physical batteries in comparison to the photovoltaic energy storage system. In this paper, a mathematical study has been done for the generation of 10 MW power from the SCPP. This paper optimized the core parameter of SCPP such as chimney height and collector radius under different operating conditions. It has been evaluated on the basis of data produced by the developed mathematical model. The current research work highlights the modern application of state‐of‐the‐art Deep Learning (DL) techniques that is, Functional Link Convolutional Neural Network (FLCNN) to map developed mathematical models. The proposed FLCNN is compared with various other Machine Learning algorithms including Support Vector Regression, K‐Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and Multilayer Perceptron. Proposed FLCNN performed efficiently and achieved 91% and 93% of Adjusted R2 score for predicting values of collector radius and chimney height, respectively, which is comparable to other ML algorithms.
