Abstract	This study reports on the development and implementation of the fuzzy incremental controller on a small-scale linear fresnel reflector solar plant. The control problem is concerned with forcing the output temperature to follow the reference, despite the existence of disturbances. Owing to the non-linear effects of solar plants, the capability of fixed parameters of the proportional–integral controller to cope with the control problem is limited and leads to unsatisfactory control performance. The proposed controller is a modification to a conventional proportional–integral algorithm with better tuning flexibility. Firstly, the ant colony optimisation algorithm is used to define the optimal parameter of proportional–integral plus series feed-forward controller while guaranteeing a satisfactory performance of the plant. Secondly, the resulting controller is replaced with an equivalent fuzzy knowledge-based controller with the error and change of error of the plant as the input variables and flow rate as an output variable. The proposed controller is tested on a quasi-dynamic model of linear fresnel reflector plant using conventional and renewable energy optimisation toolbox in the environment of MATLAB/Simulink. The controller's performance is compared to the proportional–integral controller, where its effectiveness is evaluated under nominal conditions, measurement delay, noise, and presence of disturbance.
