Thus, the usage of power sources related to SEs and theirmodel and simulations are growing among the scientists for better efficiencyand performance under different operating states. In the present study, a newSE simulation scheme has been developed by operating under Matlab/Simulink. Thecode mainly models and studies the thermos-mechanical performance of a betatype SE. The model includes the extensions from the solar power side under aconstant temperature together with thermal and mechanical outputs. Since it hasbeen a nonlinear model, some transient and dynamic phenomena have been takeninto account to complete the system operation from start-up to full powerstate. The detailed model and simulation results are promising by comparing theearlier analyses even for using a semi-empirical formulation for theelectricity conversion.
