Abstract

This paper presents a type of solar thermal power plant and also studies the efficiency of the common type of this distributed generation resource. In order to improve the efficiency of the power station, several techniques are studied such as the combined cycle plant, the thermoelectric generator and the intelligent control application. The thermodynamic analysis of the power plant and the performance of the equipment with an intelligent control system are validated by the developed experimental prototype.
