Solar Energy Technologies Program: Dish/Engine Research and Development
Dish Solar Field R&D
The dish/engine solar field consists of a dish structure, the associated mirrors, and an engine at the focal point of the mirrored dish. Our R&D aims to support industry as it develops dish/Stirling systems for utility- and distributed-energy markets.
In the area of optical characterization and flux mapping, we use the Video Scanning Hartmann Optical Test (VSHOT) and a beam characterization system to support onsite or field measurements of concentrators for CSP systems. VSHOT is described more fully in the trough R&D section.
