Optimal energy collection with rotational movements constraints in concentrated solar power plants
J. M. DÃaz-Bañez, J. M. Higes-López, M. A. Pérez-Cutiño +1
In Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants based on Parabolic Trough Collectors (PTC), the Sun is tracked at discrete time intervals, with each interval representing a movement of th…
