Performance Evaluation of a Solar Stirling Power Generation System

Abstract

Aiming at reduction of the energy consumed in domestic use, research and development of an energy system corresponding to ZEH (Zero Energy House) is advanced. The authors are developing a hybrid heat source Stirling engine combined heat and power system, which uses solar and woody biomass for a heat source. In this paper, summary of the 1kW solar Stirling power generation system and a solar tracking type collector using the Fresnel lens are described. And heating method of heater and design of solar power generation system are considered.
