This paper presents the design and evaluation of a dynamic simulator for an ISCC
(integrated solar combined cycle) plant. The design of the simulator is based on the …

The combined cycle power plants are the most recognized thermal power plants for their
high efficiency, fast start-up capability, and relatively low environmental impact. Moreover …

The integrated solar combined cycle power plants are currently the most efficient way of
converting solar energy into electricity. Increasing the thermal efficiency of these plants …

An advanced control system for the operation of solar process heat plants and a simulation
program for the design were developed. A flexible test facility was installed in order to qualify …

Most of solar systems present several operational restrictions, making it necessary to include
an energy buffer and, usually, a secondary or backup energy source. The inclusion or …

In this work, a dynamic model of a high-temperature integrated solar combined cycle power
plant is presented. The system includes a three-pressure combined cycle power plant …

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 …

This work presents a control approach to deal with plants formed by several interconnected
subprocesses and where the interconnection between subprocesses can change during the …

In this work a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulator of a novel micro combined heat and
power system is presented and its use for control algorithm optimization is demonstrated …

Abstract The European FP7 Project InSun; which started in April 2012; aims to demonstrate
the reliability and efficiency of three different collector technologies suitable for heat …
