Abstract
This paper presents a gain-scheduling generalized predictive controlle r for the distributed collector field of a solar power plant. The cont roller has been developed by considering CARIMA models of the field, c alculated taking into account the frequency response of the plant. Asp ects of the modelling, problems encountered and performance of the con trol scheme are dealt with and illustrated by plant results. A proven non-linear computer model of the collector field has been used to chec k the controller behaviour before its real implementation, and some si mulation results are shown too.
