Abstract The Digital Twin (DT) constitutes an integration between cyber and physical spaces
and has recently become a popular concept in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. The …

This paper proposes the first application of a split-range control technique on a
concentrating solar collector to improve an absorption plant production. Solar absorption …

The aim of this study is to create a digital twin of a commercial absorption chiller for control
and optimization purposes. The chiller is a complex system that is affected by solar …

This work presents a hierarchical framework to control a solar thermal facility aiming to
provide the required operating conditions for an absorption chiller machine. The CIESOL …

Non‐linearity is an inherent feature of practical systems. Although there have been
significant advances in the control of nonlinear systems, the proposed methods often require …

This paper reports on the development of a hierarchical control strategy for a multi-
generation solar plant. The plant includes a linear Fresnel reflector, an organic Rankine …

One of the main components of a Digital Twin is the modeling of the virtual entity, being this
a high-fidelity digital model of the physical entity that represents the modeling of geometry …

The current flexibility of the energy market requires operating steam turbines that have
challenging operation requirements such as variable steam conditions and higher number …
