Abstract :
This brief paper presents an adaptive generalized predictive controller for the distributed collector field of a solar plant. The controller has been implemented using a method which avoids the heavy computation requirement of this type of controller. The method can he applied to processes that can be modeled by the reaction curve method, that is, a wide range of processes in industry. The results obtained in the plant are shown
