The formulation and final control law of two of the more popular MPC algorithms, dynamic
matrix control (DMC) and generalised predictive controller (GPC), are specially analysed in …

This work deals with the main control problems found in solar power systems and the
solutions proposed in literature. The paper first describes the main solar power …

This paper introduces an optimal fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The
fuzzy PID controller is a discrete-time version of the conventional PID controller, which …

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer
in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology impacts all areas of the …

This article presents a survey of the different automatic control techniques that have been
applied to control the outlet temperature of solar plants with distributed collectors during the …

This article presents a survey of the different advanced automatic control techniques that
have been applied to control the outlet temperature of solar plants with distributed collectors …

A self-tuning proportional-integral controller for a solar distributed collector field that is based
on a pole-assignment approach employing serial compensation to cope with measurable …

This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic control to the distributed collector field of a
solar power plant. The major characteristic of a solar power plant is that the primary energy …

This paper presents a gain-scheduling generalized predictive controller for the distributed
collector field of a solar power plant. The controller has been developed by considering …

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 …
