Our partner CEA, in collaboration with CNRS and USMB, has published an article explaining the methods and results of the use of a MILP algorithm and a 0D model in hybrid solar thermal plants. This work will come particularly handy when the project reaches the integration of all the components into a single system, that will need to be optimized and adapted to the needs of industries as diverse as wood or chemicals.
Congratulations to the authors, who have indeed published the first scientific paper directly related to the project !
