Internal Model-based Controller for a Solar Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study a model-based control designed for the operation of a solar power plant is discussed. The simplified physically based model of the plant was developed on the basis of the energy balances including the solar insulation as an input, the heat transferred by the flow of the oil as a working media and the overall heat loss from the plant. The outlet temperature of the collector field is the reference/set-point value while the volumetric flow rate of the oil is the manipulating variable to the controller. The solar radiation, the ambient temperature and the inlet oil temperature to the collector field are assumed as the disturbances. The model developed and identified is an internal part of the controller. The initial control experimental results are also presented. Copyright © 2001 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 کاملRecurrent Neural Networks and Feedback Linearization for a Solar Power Plant Control
A feedback linearisation control scheme is proposed an implemented on a real solar power plant. This structure is based on a non-linear control methodology combined with a recurrent neural predictor. Given model plant mismatches it is crucial to provide the control system with an off-set compensation, being an internal model controller strategy used for this purpose. Experimental results collec...
