Summary: | For the concerns of environmental issue such as global warming, sustainable and
green way to produce energy is highly in demand. Dish Stirling system is one of the most efficient
system among others concentrated solar power technologies. However, the system is in
disadvantage in terms of cost and reliability when compare to others CSP technologies. In this
study, a fundamental prototype of solar powered dish Stirling engine is designed, manufactured,
and tested. One component of the prototype which is the power piston is malfunctioning. It was
found that the accuracy requirement of the manufacturing of the prototype was high and it requires
high skill and experience in machining process.
