An analysis has been carried out to find out the optimum operating temperature for solar Stirling power systems. The analysis has also clearly brought out the effect of solar collector design parameters, such as, concentration ratio, overall heat loss coefficient, and heat engine parameter on the overall efficiency of solar Stirling power systems. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
