This article aims to model and control a solar thermal power plant. The modeling and the dynamic behavior of the system have been well studied and carried out the variation of the exchanger temperature by acting on different parameters, such as the length, the exchange surface, and the exchange coefficient. A comparison was made between conventional PI control and an advanced AFLC-PI fuzzy logic-based control to drive the steam turbine. This advanced command improves the system's robustness with respect to internal disturbances (parametric variations) and external disturbances (sudden pressure variations).

Celem artykułu jest modelowanie i sterowanie elektrownią słoneczną. Modelowanie i dynamiczne zachowanie systemu zostały dobrze zbadane i przeprowadzono zmianę temperatury wymiennika poprzez oddziaływanie na różne parametry, takie jak długość, powierzchnia wymiany i współczynnik wymiany. Dokonano porównania między konwencjonalnym sterowaniem PI a zaawansowanym sterowaniem opartym na logice rozmytej AFLC-PI do napędzania turbiny parowej. To zaawansowane polecenie poprawia odporność systemu na zakłócenia wewnętrzne (zmiany parametryczne) i zewnętrzne (nagłe zmiany ciśnienia).

Purpose: To provide a comprehensive review of additive manufacturing use in heat transfer improvement and to carry out the economic feasibility of additive manufacturing compared to conventional manufacturing. Heat transfer improvement is particularly interesting for different industrial sectors due to its economic, practical, and environmental benefits. Three heat transfer improvement techniques are used: active, passive, and compound. Design/methodology/approach: According to numerous studies on heat transfer enhancement devices, most configurations with strong heat transfer performance are geometrically complex. Thus, those configurations cannot be easily manufactured using conventional manufacturing. With additive manufacturing, almost any configuration can be manufactured, with the added benefit that the produced parts’ surface characteristics can enhance heat transfer. It can, however, lead to a significant pressure drop increase that will reduce the overall performance. In the given article, a comparison of the capital cost of a 100 MW parabolic trough power plant has been carried out, considering two types of solar receivers; the first is manufactured using conventional methods, and the second uses additive manufacturing. The heat transfer of the new receiver configuration is investigated using computational fluid dynamics through ANYS Fluent. Findings: Although the cost of additive manufacturing machines and materials is high compared to conventional manufacturing, the outcome revealed that the gain in efficiency when using additive-manufactured receivers leads to a reduction in the number of receiver tubes and the number of solar collectors needed in the solar field It implies a considerable reduction of parabolic trough collector plant capital cost, which is 20.7%. It can, therefore, be concluded that, even if initial setup expenses are higher, additive manufacturing could be more cost- effective than traditional manufacturing. Practical implications: With the reduction of the parabolic trough collector plant capital cost, the levelized cost of electricity will eventually be reduced, which will play a role in increasing the use of solar thermal energy. Originality/value: No review studies discuss the manufacturing potential and cost- effectiveness potential of additive manufacturing when producing heat transfer improvement equipment, especially when producing long pieces. In addition, the paper uses a novel receiver configuration to investigate the economic aspect.
