Guidance page for practical work 1: modeling of a thermodynamic solar plant (question)

Note

This document is an excerpt from the guidance page with complete results, which is reserved for teachers. For this reason, the numbering of figures is flawed.

This guidance page deals with the operation of solar power plants and shows how they can be realistically modeled with Thermoptim. The practical work is focused on the modeling of a SEGS type solar plant developed by the company Luz, represented as a simple variant of a Rankine cycle, where the boiler is replaced by a steam generator in which the thermal fluid is heated the collector array.

It requires two external classes, "solar concentrator" and "Dowtherm A".
