This paper presents enhanced design for Automation control of processes involved in a solar system which utilizes programmable logic controller to automate tracking system for obtaining maximum solar radiation. Three areas are involved in this proposed multi area system where first and second area considers solar power plant with thermal system based parabolic trough collector with fixed solar isolation and random isolation of solar energy whereas third area comprises of solar thermal system with dish Stirling realistic unit. Energy efficiency can be increased by using solar concentrator along with Stirling engine. Optimization of gain of the controller is by utilizing crow search novel algorithm. Crow search algorithm is an optimization technique, which provides better performance at complex time varying noisy condition and time in-varying noisy condition. The Proposed controller is evaluated by obtaining the optimized parameters of the system whose comparison is done by operating proposed controller with & without renewable sources of energy thereby revealing better performance for both conditions. Testing is done in different areas with fixed solar isolation and random stisolation of solar energy involved in solar thermal power plant based on parabolic trough collector. Gain and parameters of the controller of the solar power plant are optimized by utilizing automation for operation of solar concentrator with parabolic Trough collector. Data acquisition and monitoring is done by human machine interface (HMI) in order to report safe operation. The Simulation results of integrated solar thermal system involving dish Stirling with parabolic trough collector, shows that dynamic response of the proposed controller operating with renewable solar energy is better than that of non-renewable energy source.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of a laboratory-scale solar thermal system for the Renewable Energy Systems Laboratory at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). The system development began as a student senior design project where students designed and fabricated a laboratory-scale solar thermal system to complement an existing commercial solar energy system on campus. The solar thermal system is designed specifically for educating engineers. This laboratory equipment, including a solar light simulator, allows for variation of operating parameters to investigate their impact on system performance. The equipment will be utilized in two courses: Applied Thermodynamics, and Renewable Energy Utilization. During the solar thermal laboratories performed in these courses, students conduct experiments based on the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 93-2010 standard for testing and performance characterization of solar thermal systems. Their measurements are then used to quantify energy output, efficiency and losses of the system and subsystem components.

Solar Thermal System

In October 2009, Team North competed in the US DOE 2009 Solar Decathlon competition. Team North's mission was to design and deliver North House, an energy efficient solar-powered home while training Canada's next generation of leaders in sustainable design. In North House, the PV system on the roof was the primary energy generation, complimented by a custom PV cladding system on the south, east and west facades. A solar assisted heat pump system, including a three-tank heat transfer and storage system, the horizontally mounted evacuated-tube solar thermal collectors on the roof and a variable capacity heat pump met the hot water and space heating demands. A second variable capacity heat pump was utilized for space cooling. The solar thermal system was studied using TRNSYS simulation. For the initial assessments the simulations were run for Baltimore. Then, the analyses were extended to different cities across Canada. In all scenarios the same house was linked to the system. The minimum annual solar fraction of the different cities was 64% and it rose up to 81%. Finally, the data measured during the competition were analyzed and compared with the data resulting from the simulation. According to competition measures, during the 10 days of competition in Washington DC, the PV system generated 271.6kWh of electricity and the solar thermal system produced 91.7kWh while the house consumption was 294.1kWh. As a result, North House was evidently a net-positive house.
