摘要

Utilization of solar chimney (SC) for power generation has proved to be a promising approach for future applications. This paper provides a comprehensive picture of research and development of SC power technology in the past few decades. The description, physical process, experimental and theoretical study status, and economics for the conventional SC power technology are included as well as descriptions of other types of SC power technology.
