Abstract

This paper focuses on the feasibility study ofDish Stirling systems in Malaysia from technical simulations using System Advisor Model (SAM), a software developed by the National Renewable energy Laboratory as a step towardsmore environmentally cleaner solutions to electrical power generation. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city, experiences an annual Global Horizontal Irradiance of 1561.9 kWh/m2 and low Direct Normal Irradiance of 373.1 kWh/m2 due to high reflection and scatter by present clouds. The highest annual energy output of DS systems in Malaysia is located in Georgetown at 739,524 kWh, however, representing only 14 % of annual energy output in Phoenix.
Simulations results conclude Malaysia as a location unsuitable for Dish Stirling systems and potentially other Concentrated Solar Power systems
