Abstract
From viewpoints of energy saving and environmental problem, we have developed marine waste hear recovery systems used Stirling engine generators. It is important to develop an engine speed control system for safety and effective operation for the systems, because it is difficult to control the temperature and the flow rate of the heat source for the waste heat recovery Stirling engine. In order to develop a high-performance engine speed control system, we have developed the Stirling engine simulator, which is constructed from an induction motor, an inverter and a programmable logic controller (PLC) installed an original program. In this paper, we show that the Stirling engine simulator can simulate characteristics of a Stirling engine with suitable parameters in the PLC. Also, the test results of the Stirling engine simulator are compared with that of a 500 W class Stirling engine. Then we discuss the effective value of the Stirling engine simulator when we develop the engine speed control system.
