SBIR Phase I: Solar Thermal Stirling Combined Heat and Power System

小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将整合和扩展先进的太阳能集热器和斯特林发动机技术，以生产用于空间和水加热的电力和热能。该研究项目将研究中温差(100℃？300C)，而不是已探明的高温差（500C+）。研究还将侧重于研究现有原型STSE-CHP（用于热电联产的斯特林发动机系统）系统组件的先进材料。第一阶段的工作具有巨大的潜力，有助于实现用更清洁的可再生能源取代世界上日益枯竭的高污染化石燃料供应的社会目标。为基础设施有限的新兴经济体的人们提供负担得起的电力和热量的进一步目标将通过这种中温STSE-CHP系统实现。

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will integrate and extend technologies of advanced solar thermal collectors and Stirling engines to produce electrical power and thermal energy for space and water heating. The research program will investigate the technical opportunities that are present for heat engines at medium temperature differentials (100C ? 300C) rather than the well-explored high temperature differentials (500C+). Theresearch will also focus on the study of advanced materials for components of the existing prototype STSE-CHP (Stirling engine system for combined heating and electrical power generation) system. This Phase I work has enormous potential for contributing to the societal goal of displacing the world's depleting supply of highly polluting fossil fuels with cleaner, renewable sources of energy. The further purpose of providing affordable electricity and heat to people in emerging economies with limited infrastructure will be enabled by this medium-temperature STSE-CHP system.
