ABSTRACT:
A Parabolic Dish-Electric Transport concept for dispersed solar thermal generation is considered. In this concept the power generated by 15 kWe Solar Generation Units is electrically collected in a large plant.

Various approaches are possible for the conversion of mechanical shaft output of

the heat engines to electricity. This study focuses on the Application of Field Modulated Generation System (FMGS) for that purpose.

Initially the state-of-the-art of FMGS is presented, and the application of FMGS to dispersed solar thermal electric generation is investigated. This is followed by the definition of the control and monitoring requirements for solar generation system. Then comparison is made between FMGS approach and other options. Finally, the technology developmental needs are identified.
