White Paper on Dish Stirling Technology: Path Toward Commercial Deployment

Andraka, Charles E.; Stechel, Ellen B.; Becker, Peter B.; Messick, Brian M.

Dish Stirling energy systems have been developed for distributed and large-scale utility deployment. This report summarizes the state of the technology in a joint project between Stirling Energy Systems, Sandia National Laboratories, and the Department of Energy in 2011. It then lays out a feasible path to large scale deployment, including development needs and anticipated cost reduction paths that will make a viable deployment product.
