Abstract
Motivated by the necessity to study a Dish Stirling solar real plant, in this paper a model suitable for simulation and control is worked out. The model obtained from basic thermodynamical equations has the main disadvantage of being a stiff system. A handy and significant model is therefore derived by an analytical approximation approach. The comparison with experimental data is very satisfactory.
