Design and application of solar dish-gamma type stirling system

This paper presents the design, simulation, development, testing, and performance appraisal of solar Dish- Gamma type Stirling system. The study provides a theoretical guidance for researcher who want to improve the performance of a solar dish-Stirling system using a mathematical model. It also studies the possibilities of generating electricity by using small scale solar Stirling system in TURKEY. The system is designed and set up in KILIS city. The power output of the system is measured midday in mid-August, and it is in a good agreement with the MATLAB model. The maximum solar Stirling system output power estimation is 250 W with an improved concentration ratio of 94 times. It generates electricity near to 408.07 kWh/year of electricity under KILIS climate condition. The total efficiency of designed system is 17 % Moreover, the solar collector is manufactured by using satellite dish antenna fitted with polished sheets of aluminum. The 3D model of solar tracking mechanism is prepared in solid work before starting the manufacturing and calculations.
