We derive a nonlinear model of the steam cycle of a solar power plant, estimate its unknown parameters with measured data, and design a linear model predictive controller based on the resulting model. Simulations show that the linear model predictive controller is able to regulate the electrical power of the nonlinear steam process of the plant to a given reference trajectory very well. Moreover, it results in very good disturbance rejection.
