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.
