The global energy transition to renewable energy is beginning to gain in pace and scale.
This review focuses on how renewable energy from various sources can supply heating …

Solar concentrating power is one of the most promising ways of producing clean electricity
by utilizing the incident solar irradiation on the earth. Linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) is one of …

Due to the concerning trend of fossil fuels destructive effect on the environment, renewables,
especially solar energy, can be a promising alternative to meet the world's energy demands …

This paper aims to examine the optical behavior of a small experimental setup for linear
Fresnel reflector. The setup was built and tested as a water heater at University of Blida …

To integrate more renewable energy into the power grid, thermal power plants have to
accelerate the speed of power output and extend their operating ranges, which can result in …

In this work, we propose a data-driven robust model predictive control (DDRMPC)
framework that utilizes stem water potential (SWP) as a basis for effective irrigation control of …

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 …

Abstract Concentrated Solar Power plants (CSP) have the energy storage capability to
generate electricity when sunlight is scarce. However, due to the highly non-linear dynamics …

One of the ways to improve the efficiency of solar energy plants is by using advanced control
and optimization algorithms. In particular, model predictive control strategies have been …

This work is concerned with the tuning of the parameters of Model Predictive Control (MPC)
