“…For example, a GA was used to find the optimal operating point of an evacuated tube solar collector system modeled with an ANN (Dikmen et al, 2014). PSO was used in multi-objective optimization based on a physical model to determine the best design and steady-state operating point ( (Awan et al, 2020), (Bahari et al, 2021)). In these studies, no dynamic behavior was considered and the optimization only needed to be conducted once.…”

“…The application of PTC combined with a steam Rankine, an organic Rankine cycle with the capacity to store heat for operating when solar irradiance is not present, was analyzed by means of multi-objective optimization using the PSO algorithm with the addition of EES and MATLAB. The PSO algorithm selects the best designing variables, and the results showed that 59% of the total exergy destruction happens on the solar collector [8].…”

Power generation using renewable technologies has become a primordial option to satisfy the energy demand all over the world, with solar concentrating technologies widely applied for this purpose. A combination of a parabolic trough collector with direct steam generation has been considered an excellent option for power generation as the economic cost and complexity in the plant are reduced. The thermal evaluation of a solar power plant as well as the PTC in the DSG process is very important in viability and economic analyses. In this sense, as the main objective of this work, a numerical tool for evaluating DSG with PTC technology was developed. The SOLEEC software is a versatile, reliable, accurate, and user-friendly option to thermally evaluate a DSG with PTC technology. The user has the possibility of comparing the thermal behavior of different geometrical dimensions for a PTC and even consider different materials to satisfy the demand of superheated steam by a DSG process. The software has an error of less than 5% when compared with the literature results and was used in this paper to evaluate a power plant in Mexico, showing that the change to DSG proposing different PTC could reduce the solar field by about 35%.

“…The configuration of the power generation systems is also an important aspect, such as a solar collector used to supply the heat for a two-stage steam turbine with inter heating and an Organic Rankine cycle, this system was simulated and optimized using the PSO algorithm with a combination of the EES and MATLAB. The PSO algorithm select the best designing variables, the results show that 59% of the total exergy destruction happens on the solar collector [3].…”

Power generation using renewable technologies has become a primordial option to satisfy the energy demand all over the world, being solar concentrating technologies widely applied for this purpose. A combination of Parabolic Trough Collector with Direct Steam Generation has been considered an excellent option for power generation, due to the economic cost and complexity in the plant are reduced. The thermal evaluation of the solar power plant as well as the PTC in the DSG process is very important in viability and economic analysis. In this sense, as the main objective of this work, a numerical tool for evaluating DSG with PTC technology has been developed. The software SOLEEC is a versatile, reliable, accurate and friendly to the user for thermally evaluating a DSG with PTC technology. The user has the possibility to compare the thermal behavior of different geometrical dimensions for a PTC; and even consider different materials; in order to satisfy the demand of superheated steam by a DSG process. The software has an error less than 5% when compared with literature results and in this paper is used to evaluate a power plant in Mexico obtaining that the change to DSG proposing different PTC could reduce the solar field about 35%.
