Abstract

The global interest in solar energy as an alternative to traditional fuels has led to a significant overall increase of attentiveness to solar energy systems, especially the solar chimney system. Because one potential drawback of solar chimney systems is the low efficiency of more traditional solar chimneys, researchers and scientists are trying to improve the efficiency of the solar chimney system by integrating them with other conventional or renewable energy systems called hybrid solar chimneys. The current review article examines solar chimney systems combined with other renewable or conventional energy systems. The emphasis of this article was placed on compact solar chimneys with solar panels, solar ponds, and geothermal energy, in addition to a presentation on some solar chimney systems integrated with power stations. These hybrid solar chimneys are described, quantifying the improvement in efficiency, identifying future challenges, and providing insights to researchers on designs that have been introduced in recent years. Suggestions have been submitted to develop the performance of hybrid solar chimneys.
