Abstract

To evaluate solar energy conversion efficiency of a solar power generation system that consists of a dish-type solar receiver in the combination with a Stirling engine, a solar power generation system using a small-sized Stirling engine was developed in this study, and preliminary experiments were carried out. The total capital fee was around five hundred thousand Won, and the developed system was found to produce an electricity of 0.56 kWh corresponding to 10% in the energy conversion efficiency. The better design of the system is expected to improve the system efficiency, and the experimental data obtained in this study will be used for other various applications associated with solar power generation.

태양 에너지 변환 효율이 높은 접시형 집광기와 스털링 엔진을 이용한 발전 방식을 조사하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 소형 스털링 엔진을 이용하여 좁은 공간에서 발전용으로 사용할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였고, 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 제작한 발전 시스템을 위하여 50만원의 제작비가 소요되었고, 제작한 시스템으로 최대 0.56 kWh의 전기를 발전하였으며, 에너지 변환 효율은 약 10%로 측정되었다. 시스템의 최적 설계를 통하여 더 높은 출력을 얻을 수 있으며, 본 연구의 기초 실험 데이터는 많은 태양열 발전 관련 분야에서 유용하게 사용될 것으로 사료된다.
