Speech Title: Modelling and Robust Predictive Control of Solar Thermal Power Generation Systems

Abstract: In this talk, a robust predictive control strategy for organic Rankine cycle (ORC) based solar thermal power generation systems is investigated. A physical model is developed for ORC based solar thermal power generation systems. The proposed robust predictive controller ensures that the solar thermal power generation system can obtain satisfactory performance.
