Performance Investigation of Solar Chimney Power Plants in Algeria’s Desert Regions

In this research, we look into the potential for constructing solar chimney power plants in the arid regions of Algeria. We compared the effectiveness of three solar chimney power plant installations in the Tamanrasset and Adrar areas. The reference plant, the secondary collector roof, secondary collectors, and tertiary collectors have all been installed in the Tamanrasset and Adrar areas. Our research shows that the best results come from using a secondary and tertiary collector roof system. Based on the collected data, we can conclude that the solar chimney power plant can produce between 50.5 and 78.5 kW of electricity annually. During the month of June, the peak hourly output is between 47 and 80 kW, and it has been discovered that this occurs in the Tamanrasset region.
