摘要：AbstractThe importance of the use of renewable energy sources has experienced a great impulse since the beginning of the 80s. In particular, solar energy is the most abundant source of renewable energy. Control strategies can be useful to improving the solar plants efficiency. In this work, a review of the applications of Model Predictive control (MPC) strategies applied to solar trough plants is presented. An application of a nonlinear Model Predictive Control for optimizing the electrical production is also described.
