Solar energy is one of the more attractive renewable energy sources that can be used as an input energy source for heat engines. In fact, any heat energy sources can be used with the Stirling engine. Stirling engines are mechanical devices working theoretically on the Stirling cycle, or its modifications, in which compressible fluids, such as air, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen or even vapors, are used as working fluids. When comparing with the internal combustion engine, the Stirling engine offers possibility for having high efficiency engine with less exhaust emissions. However, this paper analyzes the basic background of Stirling engine and reviews its existing literature pertaining to dynamic model and control system for parabolic dish-stirling (PD) system.

In this article, we have designed and fabricated the gamma-type Stirling engine based on the compression ratio technique. This engine is attached on a parabolic dish of a solar collector. The engine shows a good performance in terms of compression ratio, external work, total pressure, and engine’s speed. Our engine offers the thermal efficiency of 30.59 % so that it can reach the output mechanical power of 0.934. The temperature difference of 137 K can maintain very well for the heat collection of the solar collector even when the weather conditions are poor. Furthermore, our materials are environmentally friendly and this design is expected to be in the applications of the solar tracker in the future.

Comparison With Experimental Data

One parabolic dish—Stirling engine system—has been in operation at the Engineering School of Seville since March 2004. The unit, based on the Eurodish system, is one of the several Country Reference Units of the EnviroDish project. The system has achieved a maximum thermal efficiency (solar to electricity) close to 20% during operation. The analysis of the different parameters suggests a high potential for improvement. A thermal model of the main components of the engine package (cavity, receiver, and Stirling engine) can help to evaluate possible modifications of the system and identify the most promising ones. The development of such a thermal model and its comparison with experimental data gathered during this period are reported in this work. Model results exhibit a good qualitative agreement with the available measurements. However, the validation of the model will require measuring more parameters at the cavity, receiver, and engine.
