ABSTRACT
This technology c o mpendium , wh i ch is i nternat i onal in scope , presents the results of a survey on the _echnology
status, system specifications, performance, and operation of parabolic dish solar collectors that use Stining
engines to generate electrical power. Technical information on the engines used or to be used in dish / Stirling
systems is also presented. This study uses consistent terminology to document the design characteristics of
dish concentrators, receivers, and Stifling engines for electric generating applications, thereby enabling
comparison of dish / Stirling technologies at both a system and component level. Development status and
operating experience for each system and an overview of dish / Stirling technology are also presented.
