摘要
The application of gain-scheduled control to a pilot-scale solar power plant is described. A field of parabolic collectors focus the solar radiation onto a tube where oil is pumped through in order to collect the solar power. The control problem is to keep the temperature of the oil leaving the field at its desired value by manipulating the oil pump flow rate. It is shown that gain-scheduling can effectively handle the plant nonlinearities, using high-order local linear ARX models that form the basis for the design of local linear controllers using pole placement.
