[PDF Version]The section concentrates in the solar side of the plant and not in the more conventional part. The main controls of solar plants can be classified in Sun tracking and control of the thermal variables.
Intelligent control as a more advanced technology has been integrated into the PV system to improve system control performance and stability. However, intelligent control for the PV system is still in the early stages due to the extensive calculation and intricate implementation of intelligent algorithms.
The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial for improving the energy generation of PV systems under various climatic circumstances, as conventional controllers do not effectively optimize the energy output of solar systems. Nevertheless, the performance of PV systems can be influenced by fluctuations in meteorological conditions.
From a control point there are different control levels; a) the control of the movement of the solar collectors (sun tracking), b) the control of the thermal process variables, c) the plant wide control aspects and d) the grid integration.
Instead of complex rules and mathematical routines, AI techniques are able to learn the key information patterns within a multidimensional information domain. Design, control, and operation of solar energy systems require long-term series of meteorological data such as solar radiation, temperature, or wind data.
