A Study of the Reliable Receivers for Dish/Stirling Solar Electric Generating System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new direct illuminated receiver (DIR) for Dish/Stirling system was introduced in this study. The new cavity receiver was designed to help avoid the ruptures of the heater-head result from nonuniformities of temperature distribution. A method was also proposed to optimize the design of DIR. Both the efficiency and the reliability were improved as using this method in the experiment. The power output of the electric generating system was increased by around 300W. The new DIR operates safely at 900°C-1000°C, and cannot be sensitive to a short-lived cloud.
