In order to fully study a Stirling engine based solar power generation system, a detailed model that considers all thermal, mechanical, and electrical aspects of the system should be used. Research in the area of Stirling engine systems has been performed either without considering the electrical parts, or with a simple model for the electrical parts. Hence, the effects of interactions between electrical and mechanical components are neglected. In this paper, simulation of a solar powered Stirling engine system is proposed that considers all thermal, mechanical, and electrical aspects of the system. The system is mainly composed of two parts that are the mechanical and electrical parts. The mechanical part includes the Stirling engine that is modeled using thermal and mechanical equations in Matlab/Simulink environment. The electrical part consists of a synchronous generator, an ac/dc converter, a battery, and an electrical dc load that are simulated using Simulink blocks.

Proposal of a Novel Gravity-Fed, Particle-Filled Solar Receiver JOHNSON, Evan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker (2016-10-14) Solar Thermal Electricity power plants utilizing solid particles as heat transfer and storage media have been proposed by several research groups, with studies citing benefits of increased thermal efficiency and lower cost. Several types of solid particle receivers have been proposed, with leading designs consisting of particles falling or suspended in air. A new solid particle receiver is proposed here, consisting of a receiver fully packed with particles flowing downward with gravity. Particle flow rate i...
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM UTILISATION FOR RURAL AREAS IN NORTHERN CYPRUS Sabah, Cumali; Fahrioglu, Murat; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2015-01-01) Photovoltaic system as the renewable energy source became much important particularly together in LED based illumination systems application.
Numerical investigation of circulating fluidized bed riser hydrodynamics for concentrating solar thermal receiver applications Bilyaz, Serhat; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) Various heat transfer fluids and thermal storage materials are considered for concentrating solar power systems to improve the storage capability of the system which compensates the fluctuating behavior of the solar resources. Solid particles can be a good alternative since they have high sensible heat capacity. In addition, they are cheap, environmentally benign and chemically and mechanically stable at high temperatures. In this thesis, hydrodynamics of circulating fluidized bed solar receiver was numeric...
Design and realization of a new concentrating photovoltaic solar energy module based on lossless horizontally staggered light guide Selimoğlu, Özgür; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2013) Concentrating Photovoltaic systems are good candidates for low cost and clean electricity generation from solar energy. CPV means replacing much of the expensive semiconductor photovoltaic cells with the cheaper optics. Although the idea is simple, CPV systems have several problems inherent to their system design, such as module thickness, expensive PV cells and overheating. Light guide systems are good alternatives to classical CPV systems that can clear off most of the problems of those systems. In this t...
Comparision of dry and wet cooling: An applied research on a solar thermal power plant Timur, Eray; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2013-6) The present study evaluates the use of air cooled heat exchangers for an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) as part of a solar thermal power system that can produce 10-30 kWe. Overall thermal efficiency of the system under investigation relies heavily on (i) available solar thermal energy, (ii) performance of the cooling system, and (iii) power consumption due to pumps and fans within the system. For locations with good solar potential but limited water resources, it is crucial to evaluate wet cooling towers...
