Solar Dish-Stirling Systems (SDSS) have been successfully developed for fulfilling electrical power and heat for high-temperature applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of design, opt-geometrical analyses, thermal performance analyses, thermodynamics optimization, and economic aspects of the SDSS.
9.1. Introduction Dish concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use parabo.loidal mirrors that track the sun and focus solar energy into a receiver where it is absorbed and transferred to a heat engine/generator or else into a heat transfer fluid that is transported to a ground-based plant.
Solar dish/Stirling system A typical SDSS system is composed of a parabolic concentrator connected to a power conversion unit (PCU) as shown in Fig. 2 (a) and (b). The latter consists of a Stirling engine, a spiral cavity receiver, and an alternator.
The dish/engine system is a concentrating solar power (CSP) technology that produces smaller amounts of electricity than other CSP technologies—typically in the range of 3 to 25 kilowatts—but is beneficial for modular use. The two major parts of the system are the solar concentrator and the power conversion unit.
The dish is made of a flat support structure with mirrors arranged in a Fresnel-like array and tracks the sun using a hydraulic drive system. The first application was generating high-temperature air as heat transfer fluid (HTF), using a pressurized volumetric receiver.
The RO desalination system driven by SDSS ( Lai et al., 2019 ). ( Rafiei et al., 2019) proposed a novel hybrid solar dish incorporated with a humidification-dehumidification (HDH) water desalination system. The proposed system was used to simultaneously generate power and to produce freshwater.
