Abstract :
This brief presents the application of different predictive sliding mode controllers to the control of the outlet oil temperature of a field of distributed solar collectors. These controllers have been tuned based on a first-order plus dead time model that can be easily obtained with the reaction curve method. Satisfactory results have been obtained and several experimental tests showing the tracking and disturbance rejection capabilities are shown and discussed.
