Event-Based MPC for defocusing and power production of a parabolic trough plant under power limitation

Optimal operation of a solar plant is generally understood as a tracking of the optimal working temperatures which maximize the net electric power. However, a commercial solar plant may receive a limitation from the Transmission System Operator due to saturation of the electrical grid. In these situ...
