Abstract
Natural resources are becoming more and more scarce while pollution continues to increase. It is imperative to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency. As an efficient, low-emission machine, the Stirling engine may be an answer on the road to emission reduction and improved efficiency. Stirling engine has been used in some areas, such as nuclear-powered submarine engines, combined heat and power and Stirling cryocoolers. However, there are still several problems that cannot be ignored in Sterling generators themselves. Stirling generators, characterized by high efficiency and potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, face challenges, including high material and assembly costs, complex waste heat treatment processes, and the need for durable, high-temperature resistant materials. Despite current limitations, ongoing research aims to enhance conversion efficiency, minimize size, and lower manufacturing costs, with promising applications in various sectors, including transportation and household energy, representing a significant stride towards green energy power generation in the future.
