Hierarchical set-point optimization and feedforward strategy for collector defocusing of a solar plant
(Springer, 2021)
One of the main control objectives in parabolic trough solar thermal plants is to maintain the outlet temperature around an operating point. For this, a synthetic oil flow is used as the main control variable. However, ...

Thermal balance of large scale parabolic trough plants: A case study
(Elsevier, 2019)
The main control objective in commercial solar parabolic plants is to track the average temperature of all the loops around a reference set by the operator, by manipulating the flow of a synthetic oil. Due to the large ...

Nonlinear model predictive control for thermal balance in solar trough plants
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
The size of existing commercial solar trough plants poses new challenges in applying advanced control strategies to optimize operation. One of these challenges is to obtain a better thermal balance of the loops’ temperature. ...

Hybrid Nonlinear MPC of a Solar Cooling Plant
(MDPI, 2019-07)
Solar energy for cooling systems has been widely used to fulfill the growing air conditioning demand. The advantage of this approach is based on the fact that the need of air conditioning is usually well correlated to ...

Adaptive incremental state space MPC for collector defocusing of a parabolic trough plant
(Elsevier, 2019)
Commercial solar plants produce energy around a nominal operating point in which the solar field outlet temperature is high and close to the thermal limit of the heat transfer fluid. The main control of the temperature is ...
