A fuzzy clustering problem consists of assigning a set of patterns to a given number of
clusters with respect to some criteria such that each of them may belong to more than one …

This article describes the application of a feedback linearization technique for control of a
distributed solar collector field using the energy from solar radiation to heat a fluid. The …

In this work, sliding mode predictive control (SMPC) was applied to an air conditioning solar
plant. The process has a variable time delay with non-minimum phase behavior, whose …

The direct steam generation (DSG) solar thermal power generation system has obvious
inertia and nonlinearity in the response of superheated steam temperature. Due to the …

This work presents the application of fuzzy predictive control to a solar power plant. The
proposed predictive controller uses fuzzy characterization of goals and constraints, based …

In this article, two different state space models for a distributed solar collector field have
been extracted. Design of an Iterative Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF) and an appropriate …

The control aim of parabolic distributed solar collector (PDSC) is to make the heat generated
follow the expected reference value when the solar radiation varies unevenly. This article …

This work presents a new switching control procedure that has been chosen to deal with the
changes in plant dynamics. Several control systems composed of IMC-based PID controllers …
