Abstract: Concentrator Solar Power (CSP) system is one of renewable solar energy, that has a crucial place in the thermal production. The CSP is used for many different applications, as the turbine steam of electrical generator and co-generation. These applications need thermal energy storage (TES) to allow the system to operate at nighttime. For this purpose, a new control system of CSP is proposed in this paper. The suggested system gives a new design of CSP where including a flexible collector and absorber. The proposed CSP does not control only the absorbed temperature but also aims to obtain the maximum CSP temperature under different illumination and improve the production of the plant. The CSP efficiency is discussed and the effects of including dynamic sensor and absorber in the proposed control system are highlighted and compared with SAM to show the technological advancement of the proposed design.
