Characterization of a thermoelectric system based on a solar dish Stirling engine: a review

Abstract

The solar dish Stirling power generation system has become a potential technical solution in the field of renewable energy because it combines efficient light concentration and thermal cycle technology and shows excellent solar energy conversion efficiency. Compared with other solar power generation technologies, the peak efficiency of the solar disc Stirling power generation system is as high as 30%, and the average power generation efficiency is between 15% and 27%. This paper studies the system deeply, and discusses its commercial progress, technical and economic problems, challenges and future development direction. In order to further popularize this technology, it is necessary to improve system efficiency, reduce costs, improve maintenance and extend service life.
