Adaptive Control Of Solar Energy Collector Systems

This Book Describes Methods For Adaptive Control Of Distributed-collector Solar Fields: Plants That Collect Solar Energy And Deliver It In Thermal Form. Controller Design Methods Are Presented That Can Overcome Difficulties Found In These Type Of Plants:they Are Distributed-parameter Systems, I.e., Systems With Dynamics That Depend On Space As Well As Time;their Dynamics Is Nonlinear, With A Bilinear Structure;there Is A Significant Level Of Uncertainty In Plant Knowledge.adaptive Methods Form The Focus Of The Text Because Of The Degree Of Uncertainty In The Knowledge Of Plant Dynamics. Parts Of The Text Are Devoted To Design Methods That Assume Only A Very Knowledge About The Plant.
