“…Scholars have introduced a novel system within the realm of wind energy, comprising an adept parabolic solar dish Stirling engine coupled with a horizontally oriented wind turbine, harmoniously integrated with a compact battery unit, as elucidated in reference [14]. This innovative solar/wind turbine system has higher efficiency and financial competitiveness and is expected to replace traditional hybrid systems, such as typical photovoltaic/wind energy modules.…”

As an external gas turbine, the solar Stirling engine uses an external heat source to expand the gas in the inner cylinder to generate power. It can effectively transform solar energy into various kinds of energy and has a broad range of application prospects in the field of sustainable energy since its theoretical foundation is the Stirling cycle, which has the same thermodynamic efficiency as the Carnot cycle. This article elucidates the fundamental principles underlying the Stirling engine, provides an exposition on its three basic types, delves into potential constituent elements, explores avenues for optimization, showcases multiple exemplars of cutting-edge solar Stirling engine applications, and ultimately conducts a comparative assessment of the benefits and drawbacks inherent in solar power generation versus conventional thermal power generation methodologies. It is hoped that after understanding the innovative technology and application prospects of the solar Stirling engine, readers can better understand its importance and potential in the field of sustainable energy and optimize its structure or materials so as to promote the further development of solar Stirling engine.

“…LCOE depends on the production volume and the level of localization. For the system with a concentrated parabolic dish Stirling engine and horizontal axis wind turbines, the levelized cost of energy was between 0.12 and 0.14 €/kWh [34]. K. Pawananont et al compared three technologies-the internal combustion engine, the organic Rankine cycle, and the Stirling engine-that could be used to generate electricity from landfill gas [35].…”

The EU’s energy targets are to achieve at least 32% renewables in the energy mix by 2030. Part of the solution is strengthening consumer rights by empowering individuals to generate their own electricity. The aim of this study was to identify the most suitable energy system for electricity generation of up to 50 kW in the EU residential sector. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis was used to compare four systems: proton exchange membrane fuel cell with photovoltaic panels, photovoltaic panels, biomass-powered Stirling engine, and solar-powered Stirling engine. Based on the results, the most beneficial system for household electricity generation is the biomass-fueled Stirling engine system due to its affordability, reliability, and low environmental impact. Governments and businesses can use these findings to improve information for the residential sector and enable the transition to renewable energy.

Electricity supply reliability in an electricity distribution network is majorly affected due to unexpected power failures and power cuts. A hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) with the optimal size of renewable energy sources can substantially improve power reliability. Therefore, this article develops an objective function incorporating socio‐techno‐economic‐environmental (STEE) factors for HRES optimal sizing to supply reliable power to a rural village. The factors considered in the objective function are namely social (employment generation factor, human progress index, and land cost), technical (excess energy factor, renewable energy portion, and loss of power supply probability), economical (total net present cost, cost of energy, and annualized cost of system), and environmental (emission cost). In this article, for the first time, marine predators algorithm (MPA) based metaheuristic optimizer is devised to address the sizing optimization problem of HRES. Three HRES configurations, having different arrangements of diesel generator (DG), biogas generator (BG), battery (BAT), wind turbine (WT), and photovoltaic (PV), are examined utilizing MPA, particle swarm optimization (PSO), salp swarm algorithm (SSA), and genetic algorithm (GA) for optimal configuration. Due to the lowest value of economical and environmental factors and the highest value of the social factor, the PV‐WT‐BAT‐BG‐DG configuration is optimal compared to other investigated configurations with MPA. Comparing the four optimizers, MPA has the best STEE factor values, as well as stronger convergence, greater ability to escape from local minima, and higher ability to approach the global optimum. Additionally, by contrasting it with the PSO result for the three HRES configurations, the MPA result quality is confirmed. Furthermore, the cost of energy (0.1799 $/kWh) of the optimal configuration is less than the latest addressed in the literature.
