Abstract The sloped solar chimney power plant (SSCPP) has significant capability to fulfil a part of the forthcoming energy requirements of villages located in the southwestern region of Iran. This paper presents the performance analysis of SSCPP which was expected to fulfil the urgent need for electric power in the southwestern region of Iran. However, to investigate the SSCPP performance and power generation throughout the southwestern region of Iran, five different regions across the Persian Gulf were considered. A mathematical model was developed to estimate the power output of solar chimneys. The performances, such as rate of air mass flow, system efficiency and solar collector efficiency, of the SSCPP were studied. The obtained results show that SSCPPs can produce from 2.98 to 5.91 MW of electricity power in the selected regions during different months of the year.
