Abstract

In this paper; the overall modeling approach for an optimized control of a hot-gas cycle with its different components for solar thermal power plants is pointed out.

For control purposes a linear model-based controller (MPC) was implemented in Modelica based on an external state-of-the-art QP solver linked to the Modelica model.
