The use of the high-temperature air in these areas for electricity generation to the residential houses is quite essential while providing urban buildings with a suitable level of infrastructure and facilities is a significant step to success in the re-urbanization project. Solar chimney power plant (SCPP) is considered to be one of the promising power generation facilities which use solar energy to generate electricity. It is a solar thermal power plant utilizing a combination of a solar air collector and a central updraft tube to generate a solar-induced convective flow, which drives pressure staged turbines to generate electricity. This paper presents a description of the functional principle of the SCPP components, and some results from designing a medium scale unit using a simple mathematical model are given.
