Solar thermal energy is emerging as an important solution to new demands for clean, renewable energy. This energy technology is can be constructing as an environmentally friendly generator of significant power ratings. Furthermore, deregulation of the electricity market has encouraged the development of small and medium-sized distributed generations. Dish-Stirling technology is a relatively new player in the renewable energy market. Stirling engine is in the thermodynamics field and apply in electric power system. The advantages of Stirling engine are high efficiency and no emissions, making it highly compatible with concentrated solar power technologies. The project is to study and analyse the behaviour of dish-Stirling engine solar thermal system for future system improvement study.
