After a short introduction to membrane distillation systems powered by solar energy, it reports on the various stages of the development of a comprehensive operating strategy, based on modelling, control, and optimization techniques, which enables an improved operation of SMD plants helping the commercialization of the SMD technology. A special focus of the research was to maximize the distillate production of the MD modules while reducing their thermal energy consumption, being those two important weaknesses of the current technology, as well as their minimizing operating costs. The optimised operating strategies were tested in a real pilot plant located at Plataforma Solar de Almería (a dependency of the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas, CIEMAT, of Spain). All in all, this thesis offers extensive information on control and modeling algorithms, and on their practical applications in solar membrane distillation plants. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrology 606 $aSeparation (Technology) 606 $aControl and Systems Theory 606 $aWater 606 $aSeparation Science 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aSeparation (Technology) 615 14$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aWater. 615 24$aSeparation Science. 676 $a737 700 $aGil$b Juan D.$01351443 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910698643803321 996 $aHierarchical Control and Optimization Strategies Applied to Solar Membrane Distillation Facilities$93106954 997 $aUNINA
