The simulation analyses of a dish solar power system with stirling engine in this study are applied to system performance prediction if four different test sites; Seoul, Pusan and Cheju in Korea, and Naha in Japan. The effects of difference of concentrator type such as monolithic and stretched-membrane construction on system efficiency are also evaluated. The total amount of generated power for a year depends on the site. However the total maximum system efficiency in every site is approximately 16% and there isnt striking difference. It is also found that the maximum collector efficiency of stretched-membrane concentrator is about 3∼15% lower than that of the monolithic type.

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.
