Gain Scheduled Control of a Solar Power Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of gain-scheduled control to a pilot-scale solar power plant is described. A eld of parabolic collectors focus the solar radiation onto a tube where oil is pumped through in order to collect the solar power. The control problem is to keep the temperature of the oil leaving the eld at its desired value by manipulating the oil pump ow rate. It is shown that gain-scheduling can e ectively handle the plant nonlinearities, using high-order local linear ARX models that form the basis for the design of local linear controllers using pole placement.

Robust Fuzzy Gain-Scheduled Control of the 3-Phase IPMSM
This article presents a fuzzy robust Mixed - Sensitivity Gain - Scheduled H controller based on the Loop -Shaping methodology for a class of MIMO uncertain nonlinear Time - Varying systems. In order to design this controller, the nonlinear parameter - dependent plant is first modeled as a set of linear subsystems by Takagi and Sugeno’s (T - S) fuzzy approach. Both Loop - Shaping methodology and...
متن کاملThermodynamic modeling and comprehensive off-design performance analysis of a real integrated solar combined cycle power plant
In this paper thermodynamic modeling and comprehensive performance analysis of a real integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) power plant are performed. Performance of the plant cycle is assessed in off-design condition and in two operation modes of power-boosting and fuel-saving. Such an approach has not been considered for an ISCC plant in the previous studies. Under studied ISCC which is loca...

This paper presents a fuzzy-logic-based methodology of life extending control (LEC) for robust wide-range operation of fossil power plants including load-following, scheduled shutdown, and hot startup. The objectives of the LEC are performance enhancement and structural durability of both aging and new fossil power plants. The proposed control system has a two-tier architecture, which explores ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of a solar chimney power plant in the southern region of Iran
Three-dimensional numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of pressure drop across the turbine and solar radiance on the performance of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP). The SCPP system expected to provide electric power to a city is located in southern region of Iran (city of Lamerd, Fars province). Its dimensions are similar to the Manzanares prototype (built in Spain,...
متن کاملModeling and Control of Water Level in Boiler Drum for Nassiriyah Thermal Power Plant
The boiler drum process is a nonlinear, complex and multivariable process which includes significant time delay. Therefore, the control on the water level in the drum is not easy and ideal. The first objective of this paper is to model the drum water level referring to 210 MW power unit for Nassiriyah thermal power plant. The second objective is to study the water level controller operation wit...
