Review on solar Stirling engine: Development and performance
Solar Stirling systems have demonstrated the highest efficiency when considering solar-based power generation system by converting nearly 30% of the sun''s radiation into electrical energy
Finally, an invention that is over 100 years old may provide a solution – the Stirling engine combined with solar power. The Stirling engine in combination with solar concentrator is a very efficient and clean source of energy, thereby provides us an answer to the problem of cleaner and greener energy.
The idea of using solar energy in the Stirling engine was applied by integrating solar concentrators to the Stirling engines. The dish-Stirling systems first convert the thermal energy into mechanical energy using concentrators and Stirling engine, and then mechanical to electrical conversion is done using generators, .
The solar energy is one of the cleaner and greener energy available in abundance. The stirling engine in combination with solar concentrator is a very efficient and clean source of energy, thereby provides us an answer to the problem of cleaner and greener energy.
There is design and calculations of different components of Solar Stirling engine. Stirling engines exhibit the same processes as any heat engine: compression, heating, expansion, and cooling. Stirling engines operate on a closed regenerative thermodynamic cycle.
