Well - the major attraction with Stirling engines is that they just require a temperature gradient to work. Heat is a low form of energy so it's easily generated or harvested.
They are a bit hard to regulate though and work best at a constant high efficiency rpm. This makes the series-hybrid an obvious choice.
