Recently, interest in renewable energy is increased due to exhaustion of fossil fuel and environmental pollution all over the world, therefore the solar power generation using solar energy is many researched. The solar power generation is required solar tracking control and high concentration solar thermal collector because generation performance is depended on concentrator efficiency. This paper proposes high efficiency solar power generation with two-axis tracking control using dish-type solar thermal collector that has excellent thermal collector performance and tracking algorithm that can be accurately tracked solar position. This paper proves validity through analysis with accuracy of tracking algorithm and generating efficiency.

This paper describes the characteristics of scroll type stirling engine receiver. Scroll type stirling engine operated scroll compressor and expander instead of piston. Pass dimension of the receiver was $14(W){\times}14(H)$ mm and total pass length was 5,049 mm. External dimension of the receiver was $300{\times}300mm$. The experimental facility consisted of parabolic dish concentrator, compressor to supply air, triplex air filter, and flowmeter. In this study, basic experimental conditions were set at a inlet pressure of 5 bar and volume flow rate of $25m^3/hr$. As a result, air temperature in receiver at each measuring position of point 1, 2, 3 were $241^{\circ}C$, $465^{\circ}C$, and $542^{\circ}C$ respectively at inlet pressure of 5.5 bar and volume flow rate of $24.6m^3/hr$. As DNI increasing, heat transfer coefficient of the receiver changed from $695W/m^2K$ to $827W/m^2K$. Average heat transfer coefficient of receiver in the experiment was $798W/m^2K$. In addition, receiver efficiency became about 83%.

This experimental study represents the results of an analysis on the characteristics of flux density distribution in the focal region of solar concentrator. The characteristics of flux density distributions are investigated to optimally design and position a cavity receiver. This was deemed very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a dish concentrator. We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17m. The total integrated power and percent power was 2467W and $85.8\%$, respectively, in the case of small dish, and also 2095W and $79\%$, respectively, in the case of KIERDISH II. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The minimum radius of receiver in KIERDISH II is found to be 0.15m and approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by receiver aperture.

A numerical study is performed to investigate the effect of sun tracking on the thermal performance of the evacuated compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) collectors. The evacuated CPC collectors consist of a two-layered glass tube, a copper tube and a reflector. The collector has a copper tube as an absorber and a reflector inside a glass tube. The water is used as a working fluid. The length and the diameter of the glass tube are 1,700mm and 70mm, respectively. The length and the diameter of the copper tube are 1,700mm and 25.4mm, respectively. Ray tracing analysis is carried out in order to compare absorbed heat fluxes on the absorber surface of the stationary and tracking collectors. The collected energy is calculated and compared with that on a fixed surface tilted at $35^{\circ}$ on the ground and facing south. The results indicate that the collected solar energy of the sun tracking system is significantly larger than that of a stationary collector. The sun tracking evacuated CPC collectors show a better performance with an increase in the thermal efficiency of up to 14% compared with an identical stationary collector.

Considering the optical performance of the reflector and analyzing heat losses from the receiver, the optimal diameter of the absorber for a PTC(Parabolic Trough Concentrator) system was numerically determined. The results of this study were compared with the results of the IST (Industrial Solar Technology)-PTC test to verify the validity of the model. Good agreement was obtained with the deviation range from 0.4 to 7.7%. Generally, the net energy gained by the receiver shows the maximum at the particular absorber diameter and the specific gap size between the absorber and the glass envelop because the heat losses from the receiver becomes the minimum. The results showed that the conductive and convective heat losses became the minimum when the gap size was 7 to 10mm. Finally, it was known that the optimal absorber diameter was 62mm at $100^{\circ}C$, 57mm at $150^{\circ}C$, and 53mm at $200^{\circ}C$ of the absorber surface temperature, respectively.

In order to make a match of the insufficient direct solar radiation, in this study, the target output is lowered to 9 kW smaller than 25 kW in former studies. It is also necessary to match the collector/receiver with engine/generator systems to accomplish the power level of a system. The simulation analyses of a dish solar power system with stirling engine are totally carried out to predict the system performance with the designed values. In addition, an influence of direct solar radiation on system performance and operation control is discussed in simulation. It is found that the diameter of concentrator could be made small to 8 m regardless of slope errors with 2.5 and 5.0 mrad radiation, and the operation range of mean pressure control. is wide even if the direct solar radiation is a quit low.

About 170 years has been passed since the concept of photovoltaic has been suggested by French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel. Now the highest efficiency of solar cell has reached up to 44% by III-V multi-junction solar cells with concentrator. Those multi-junction solar cells are suitable as energy source for spaceships. On the other hand, the cell efficiency of solar cell for electric power generation as energy source for Earth has is going to be saturated although commercial solar cell efficiency is around 20%. In the part 1 of this article, the history of III-V multi-junction solar cells which have been adapted for spaceships is explained and in the part 2, new approach for the improvement of cell efficiency is suggested as the energy source for Earth.

A small-scale solar concentrating system was developed and demonstrated for supplying process heat required in solar thermo chemical reaction. The concentration system consists of a heliostat equipped with a solar tracking device and a dish concentrator. From the initial thermal test of the concentrating system it was found that the system works very well with around 500-600 concentration ratio capable of supplying about 3kW therml energy to the reactor. Once the concentration system was turned on, the reactor temperature rapidly increased over $1,000^{\circ}C$ and could be maintained high enough for solar chemical reaction.
