Abstract: Solar tower with thermal energy storage (ST-TES) represents a promising technology for large-scale exploitation of solar irradiation for electricity generation. A ST-TES has the potential to extend electricity generation ...

Abstract: In this paper, a dual-mode model predictive/linear control method is presented, which extends the concept of dual-mode model predictive control (MPC) to trajectory tracking control of nonlinear dynamic systems described ...

Abstract: This paper presents evaluation of the energy consumption and tracking performance associated with the use of a recently introduced dual-mode model predictive controller (DMMPC) for control of a heating, ventilation, and ...
