Microcomputer-controlled solar energy plants

Abstract Solar circuits are nearly always transitory in evolution. It is therefore necessary to control them dynamically. In this paper some solar plant configurations, which use flexible and economic microcomtrollers for both energy cycle and parabolic collector management, are examined. The paper points out some possible solutions based on priority for low energy costs. Principal advantages of using such microcontrollers are high operation continuity, reliability and user-oriented management.
