説明

<p>This paper describes a practical design of a novel Stirling engine generator and 1kW machine test data. This machine’s configuration is a 4 cylinder double acting Stirling engine coupled with a Halbach PM generator in line. This machine operates on the Stirling thermodynamic cycle and electromagnetic cycle established in 19th century by Carnot and Faraday. This machine’s unique function is bidirectional exchanging between thermal energy and electric power, as a same rotating direction of a same shaft. And the shaft speed can be controlled by three phases voltage source PWM inverter during both function such as the motor cooler mode and the engine generator mode. So, this unit can generate an electricity by using to many kinds of external heat source. As the heat source temperature changes as the shaft speed changes for the amount of absorbed heat changing in order to keep a cylinder temperature (700 ℃) and a heater tube temperature (<770 ℃). Consequently, the unit will achieve a highest efficiency keeping as a creep rapture strength limit level of the heater tubes. This unit has achieved 1.1 kW effective electric power, and 20.1% efficiency using LPG fuel, and 23.7 % thermal energy to electrical energy. This unit can connect to a commercial AC grid line by another inverter and, also connect a high voltage battery and a solar cell on the high voltage DC bus line in the PWM inverter.</p>
