This article describes a temperature control structure designed for the interior of a solar hydrogen reactor based on a two-step ferrite-redox technology. Until now, this temperature has been controlled by manual selection of the heliostats to be focused on the receiver targets. However, the...

This paper proposes a new predictive control strategy for a distributed collector field of a solar desalination plant. The main purpose of the controller is to manipulate the water flow rate to maintain constant the outlet-inlet temperature gradient in the collectors in spite of disturbances....
