TI  - New Approaches in Solar Chimney Power Plants: Recent Applications of Hybrid Power Production
AB  - The importance of solar energy is increasing day by day for humanity, considering the increasing environmental pollution with the intensive use of fossil fuels in recent years. While the importance of solar energy is increasing, the development and effective use of existing solar energy systems are also important. There are many systems in which solar energy is used directly or indirectly. Solar chimney power plants (SCPP) are systems that indirectly generate electricity from the sun by transferring solar energy to the air in its structure. It is promising with its low maintenance costs and environmentally friendly working principles after its installation. This study firstly explains the working principle of the system to the readers and then evaluates the parameters that affect the performance of the system. The effect of the collector and chimney, which are the main elements of the system, on the performance of the system in different geometries and designs is interpreted based on the literature. Then, it refers to the innovative studies carried out in recent years regarding the system. As a hybrid system, studies such as adding PV modules to SCPP systems, adding geothermal and external heat sources, desalination of seawater, and obtaining clean water are included. The effect of hybrid systems on performance is evaluated. It is seen that the power output of the system reaches satisfactory levels with PV, geothermal, and external energy source reinforcement. In addition, its use for different purposes such as obtaining clean water is promising.
