Feedback Linearization Control for a Distributed Solar Collector Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a feedback linearization control of a distributed solar collector field, which main purpose is to heat a fluid using the energy provided by the solar irradiation. The control objective is to track an outlet temperature reference manipulating the fluid flow trying to attenuate the effect of disturbances (mainly radiation and inlet temperature). A feedback linearization technique has been developed and implemented to control this nonlinear plant by merging both feedforward and feedback control. The design of the feedback controller is performed based on a linear simplified version of the system. Experiments in the real plant are shown. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Energy-based control of a distributed solar collector field
Model-based control of the outlet temperature of a distributed solar collector eld is studied. An energy-based controller is derived using internal energy as a storage function and controlled variable. The controller relies on a distributed parameter nonlinear plant model and includes feedforward from the solar irradiation and inlet temperature. Stability of the closed loop is proved, and the m...

متن کاملRobust control of the distributed solar collector field ACUREX using MPC
This paper presents the application of a robust model predictive control for tracking of piece-wise constant references (RMPCT) to a distributed collector field, ACUREX, at the solar power plant of PSA (Solar Plant of Almeŕıa). The main characteristic of a solar power plant is that the primary energy source, solar radiation, cannot be manipulated. Solar radiation varies throughout the day, caus...
