Abstract
This paper presents a control study of the real Shiraz 250KW solar power plant together with a modeling and a monitoring interface. Here, a PID controller is developed to control the outlet oil temperature of the collector field of the solar power plant as a standard tool for industrial automation. First the power plant is modeled within MATLAB environment and the model is verified with the real data of the power plant. Then an HMI environment is developed within the LabVIEWsoftwarewhile incorporating the model developed in MATLAB. The simulation results showed that a fixed-coefficient PID failed to provide the desired results over a year and the best coefficients for each month were calculated. The friendly and accurate developed environment within MATLAB and LabVIEW provide a valuable tool for modeling and control studies and monitoring of the real power plant.
