Development of an EMS dedicated to the control of a solar power plant, coupled with a thermal battery

Abstract

The introduction of Renewable and Recoverable Energies (R&R) into the energy mix is one of the major levers for reducing CO2 emissions, particularly for heat production. For To this end, energy systems must be put in place based in particular on innovative thermal storage technologies. The purpose of this communication is to present the MERLIN modelling/optimization environment (Hétreux G., 2022) which offers software components allowing the development of applications to help with dimensioning and operational management of multi-energy systems. By way of illustration, these tools are implemented through the study of a system composed of a concentrated solar power plant and a storage used to supply hot air to a food drying oven.
