The goal is to operate the wind-thermal generation system in a cost effective manner while maintaining a voltage secure operation with reduction in system loss.
In this paper, the H∞ robust control design based on the partial linearized model is applied for the first time to a complete thermal power generation system consisting of boiler, turbine, and generator.
A parabolic trough collector (PTC) is an important component of parabolic trough solar thermal power generation system.
The presented low temperature solar thermal electric generation system mainly consists of compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) and the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) working with HCFC-123.
The annual average solar-to-electric efficiency and the nominal efficiency under the given condition for the proposed solar thermal power generation system reach to 15.86% and 22.80%, which are higher than the reference system with a single HTF.
It is also seen that a solar thermal power generation system using the regenerative Brayton cycle results in migration of the optimal efficiency point towards lower values of engine pressure ratio.
During the past decades, Markov jump linear systems (MJLSs) have been received extensive interests in many engineering fields, such as energy system, solar thermal power generation system, networked control system, manufacturing system, financial market system [1, 2].
Swirl combustion, whether of gaseous fuels or sprays, forms the basis of many thermal power generation systems and to effective design and optimisation of these complex systems has benefited from the development of reliable computational design tools which employ advanced modelling guided by measurements.
Its mission is the experimental investigation of electrical and thermal power generation systems based essentially on solar energy.
Therefore, the concept of smart grid could be extended to the heat sector in relation to District Heating Networks (DHNs) and considering thermal energy distributed generation systems, such as solar thermal panels or micro-Combined Heat and Power (micro-CHP) generators.
