Introdution Mthemtil modelling is the most widely used nd theoretilly estblished tool to investigte nd develop solr therml olletors s environmentlly friendly tehnologil het produers. he two min tegories of mthemtil models for olletors re physilly-bsed models whih represent ext physil lws (bsed on theory) nd blk-box models whih desribe empiril orreltions (bsed on experienes or mesurements). mong the most importnt physilly-bsed models the Hottel-Whillier-liss model (Duffie nd ekmn 006) my be the erliest whih is frequently used to dte. his model determines the olletor temperture s funtion of time nd spe. uzás et l. (1998) proposed simpler model ssuming tht the olletor temperture is homogeneous in spe. his model is liner ordinry differentil eqution (ODE) vlidted in (Kisiny 014) nd is likely the simplest physillybsed model used in the prtie (see e.g. (Kumr nd Rosen 010; uzás nd Kisiny 014)) but n still desribe the trnsient olletor proesses with n pproprite ury. his model will be lled physilly-bsed model in short below. he gretest dvntge of blk-box models is tht it is not needed to know the physil lws of olletor preisely in order to rete model. Nevertheless the model my be rther preise even if it is simple s in the se of (Kisiny 014). he most frequent blk-box model type is perhps the rtifiil neurl network (NN) in the field of olletors. Generlly NNs re urte but rther troublesome to pply beuse of the so-lled trining proess. he onvergene of the lgorithm inditing the end of trining session my be lso timeonsuming. ording to Fisher t l. (01) onveniently usble lgorithm ensuring relible nd fst determintion of n pproprite NN for olletor is still missing. euse of these problems simple nd generl but still urte blk-box model whih n be pplied esily nd fst for wide rnge of solr olletors hs been reently worked in (Kisiny 014). he model is bsed on the wellknown methods of mthemtil sttistis more preisely the multiple liner regression (MLR). sed on the literture MLR is rre blk-box modelling tehnique in the field of olletors despite of its simpliity. Considering the high preision (with modelling error of 4.6%) simple usbility nd low omputtionl demnd of the mentioned MLR-bsed model (MLR model in short) 36

4 Institute for Mthemtis nd Informtis it ws worth trying to simplify further the MLR model. Suh simplified model lled SMLR model (with modelling error of 8.0%) hs been worked in (Kisiny 015). On the other hnd it ws lso worth improving the MLR model to try to mximize the preision. Suh n improved modellled IMLR model (with n error of 4.1%) hs been worked in (Kisiny 016) where it hs been empirilly shown tht the ury nnot be signifintly improved ny more if the regression equtions re ll liner in terms of the input vribles. In the present survey s summry of former works the bove MLR-bsed models re presented nd ompred with one nother nd with the physillybsed model by mens of mesured dt.. Physilly-bsed nd MLR-bsed models For the Reder s onveniene the physilly-bsed model nd the MLR-bsed models re relled in this setion. he sheme of the studied solr olletor n be seen in Fig. 1. Figure 1. Sheme of the solr olletor.1. Physilly-bsed model he physilly-bsed model is the ODE of Eq. (1). d dt U L v 0 I t t t in t t (1) V V V.. MLR model he inputs of the MLR model re from ppropritely hosen vlues of in I nd. he put is from ppropritely hosen vlues of. he flow rte vlue v is fixed positive onstnt or 0. euse of the boundedness of the flow rte in 1 n ply role s n input in the MLR model if is the put where the positive onstnt 1 is time dely (more preisely the time of flowing inside the olletor from the inlet 37

5 Institute for Mthemtis nd Informtis to the let when the pump is swithed on permnently). Similr onsidertions hold for I nd s well beuse of the bounded propgtion speed of their effets so former I nd vlues n ply roles s inputs in forming the put. (he time delys of I nd re ssumed to be the sme ( for the ske of simpliity.) Nturlly pproprite former vlue of lso ffets the vlue of ) nd prtiiptes s the initil vlue of the MLR model t time t in essene. Considering the olletor s blk-box distint sub-models s prts of the MLR model hve been identified for signifintly different operting onditions. For exmple the olletor behves different if the pump is on (v>0) or off (v=0) permnently. Even the effet of in is negleted in permnently swithed off se sine there is no flow between the olletor inlet nd let. Considering typil dy when the temperture inrese of is signifint three different min operting ses re distinguished ording to Fig.. C 1 C1 C 3 3 IW/m 4 time h 4 pump on/off C1 C Figure.

It n be seen tht there re two further signifintly different operting ses within Cse C: bsilly inreses before the solr noon nd bsilly dereses fter the solr noon so Cse C is divided into Cses C1 nd C. he MLR model is omposed of the liner equtions ()-(d) whih desribe the orresponding sub-model of eh operting se.

IMLR model he IMLR model is similr to the MLR model. he min differenes re the following (see lso Fig. ): 1. he (lrgest) operting se Cse is divided into four sub-ses Cses 1 3 nd 4 s follows: Cse 1 onsists of the time period from the beginning of the dy to the time when the solr irrdine is first greter thn 10 W/m. his se prtilly belongs to the term of no irrdine in the first hlf of the dy. Cse onsists of the time period from the end of Cse 1 to the time when the solr irrdine is first greter thn 100 W/m. Usully this time is followed by very intensive inrese in the irrdine so this is pprently the time of sunrise when the irrdine hnges from (mostly) diffuse to (mostly) diret. Cse 3 onsists of the time periods besides Cses 1 nd 4 (see below) within Cse. Cse 4 ontins the lst three hours of the dy. In essene the term fter Cse C orresponds to the free ooling of the olletor from reltively high temperture. sed on experiments this setion nnot be modelled well with single reltion so it should be divided into sub-setions. Empirilly the problem n be solved well with only two sub-prts if the lst three hours re seprted.. he oeffiients of the zeroth-order members (f. C1 nd C in Eqs. ()-(d) in the MLR model) re set zero in Eqs. (4)-(4g) below. his set is in line with the physil phenomenon tht the olletor (let) temperture must be zero if ll the inputs in I nd the previous olletor temperture re zero. sed on experiments this nturl onstrint results in bit lower preision in the identifition but higher preision in the vlidtion tht is the modelling error dereses. he liner equtions (4)-(4g) orrespond to the operting ses of the IMLR model.
