Recently, Stirling engine has been get attention again as the technology that reduced the effects on the environment because of the feature that the external-combustion engine can use various heat. If a high efficiency Stirling engine power generating system using the exhaust heat from factory or engine can be constructed by using the feature of Stirling engine, the exhaust heat recovery by the electric power which is a high added value becomes possible. In this study, the power generation performance of tens of kW class Stirling engine in the exhaust heat use was evaluated, and the characteristic was able to be understood. Moreover, from that result the optimized power generating system that assumed application to an actual factory was studied, and then the additional combustion system and two series configuration system of STE confirmed high efficiency power generation was possible by the calculation. In addition, a basic design was executed and the problem was clarified.
