Abstract

Large solar thermal systems (LSTS) are a promising market segment for solar energy. However, the realization of LSTS is more challenging compared to smaller plants, in both technical and economical terms. Permanent monitoring, data evaluation and fault detection during the operation of LSTS has shown by Fink et al. (2010) and Peuser et al. (2008) to be crucial for ensuring optimal performance.
