Renewable energies are gaining space in the energy generation panorama, thanks to technological advances and policy support. To take profit of these energies in an optimal and sustained way, research of new control strategies becomes imperative. This work presents the study and application of a nonlinear control strategy, where a Smith Predictor is added to the Nonlinear Extended Prediction Self-Adaptive Control (NEPSAC), for the control of a Solar Power Plant. Different simulations are performed to study the effect of the design parameters in the dynamic behavior of the system.

“…The trade-off between model simplicity and the ability to describe the dynamics of a plant sufficiently motivated the author in [22] to develop two slightly different nonlinear models from the basic physical relations. The models are linear in the parameters, thus can be easily estimated on-line and compensate for any time-varying effects or modelling errors.…”

Abstract. Continual increases in electricity demand, the global rise in oil consumption and prices, the contribution of oil consumption to greenhouse gases emissions and the fact that the supply of fossil fuels will eventually run out are all driving factors in the need for renewable energy solutions. This paper gives an overview of the main concentrated solar thermal power technologies with an emphasis on the modelling and control of conventional parabolic trough technology. Specific focus is given to the benefits of model-based predictive control in a distributed solar collector field of a parabolic trough plant.

Adaptive Control of Solar Energy Collector Systems

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter provides a broad overview of solar thermal energy systems. The aim is to describe the context of distributed collector solar fields used in plants that apply parabolic trough technology. Furthermore, the temperature control problem associated to distributed collector solar fields is explained and the use of adaptive control to solve it is motivated. In contrast to subsequent chapters that use mathematics to explain control algorithms and the models upon which they rely, the approach in this chapter resorts to qualitative explanations together with some plant data to introduce the main ideas.
