This paper presents the development of a control approach for a smart polygeneration microgrid using the Model Predictive Control (MPC) paradigm. The importance of distributed generation systems has increased through recent years and questions of grid stability have emerged in the face of high concentrations of non-dispatchable power sources....

It has long been recognized that the possibility for the integration of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is one of the key advantages of CSP over other forms of renewable energy technology. In this work, a high temperature ceramic storage test rig for gas turbine energy systems was presented with its innovative layout, which avoids the use of hot...
