use the "Combine Systems" macro to add the hourly output of the two systems together to approximate the performance of a hybrid power tower / PV system. To use the macro, first create a SAM file with two cases, one for the power tower system and the...
Hassan, SAM cannot model hybrid power systems. Best regards, Paul.Dear Hassan, SAM cannot model hybrid power systems. Best regards, Paul.
can we define and simulate Hybrid (Wind + PV) system ? Using wind and solar system together in a unit system can reduce the size of the battery or storage system. This reduce the cost of the project.How can we define and simulate Hybrid (Wind + PV)...
Fajar, SAM does not model hybrid power systems or off-grid power systems. You may be able to do some creative modeling as you suggest to approximate such systems. You may also want to consider models designed for such systems, including HOMER and...
and can not find any relevant topic. Pardon me if this has already been covered somewhere. Anyway, I am trying to model a hybrid PV-Diesel System Is there any way to model the Diesel Generator in SAM? Or should I model it as a grid and convert the fuel...
Paul, I am trying to simulate the very new commercial solarthermal and photovoltaics hybrid solar plants. For the solarthermal part I am using a parabolic through model (PPA single owner). When I am configuring the solar thermal storage I set it in a...
No. SAM cannot model a CSP/coal hybrid power plant. It can model a CSP plant with fossil backup, where a gas-fired boiler provides supplemental heat to the solar field. We are also working on an Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) model that we hope...
may i ask if the simulation of parabolic trough collectors hybrid with a coal-fired plant can be come true by the SAM software? look forward your answer,thanks a lothi may i ask if the simulation of parabolic trough collectors hybrid with a coal-fired...
to Neises, T. NREL publication it was developed a new CSP component to SAM that models a retrofit hybrid integrated solar combined-cycle (ISCC) system. In this model, power-cycle performance data are connected with SAM’s molten-salt power-tower model....

Hi Pablo, In SAM 2020.12.02, we removed the "Combine Cases" macro and replaced it with the Generate production profiles and nameplate capacity from open cases option for the Generic System on the Power Plant page. See the Help topic for the Power Plant...
all, Does SAM still have the option to hybridize systems? Thanks in advance. Pablo.Dear all, Does SAM still have the option to hybridize systems? Thanks in advance. Pablo.
Hello, How can I simulate a project that combines wind and PV on same area? The wind should extend the renewable energy provision time. So, I'd like to simulate an area that has good wind after sunset with PV and wind. Thank you.Hello, How can I...
Hi Denise, The Combine Systems macro creates a new hourly generation profile for the "combined system" by adding the hourly data for the systems that you combine. If you combine a parabolic trough system with a biopower system, the macro creates a...
Dear Abdulrahman, You can find some discussion and examples by searching this forum (use the Search box at the top right of this window) for "diesel." Some examples: https://sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3191...
Thank you so much, Paul. It's will be a great pleasure if you can tell where I can find the examples in SAM of approximation the off-grid PV systems either with battery or diesel? Thank you so much, Paul. It's will be a great pleasure if you can tell...

Hi can you help me to used SAM to make a simulation of two power plants a PV plant and another CSP plant thank you for the help. best regardsHi can you help me to used SAM to make a simulation of two power plants a PV plant and another CSP plant thank...
Hi Mona, Before running the Combine Cases macro, run a simulation for each case separately to make sure there are not any problems with their configuration that are causing simulation errors. If that does not help you identify the cause of the error,...
In several of my projects, I need to use different sized Inverters,some of which are not in the Inverter CEC Database. Since the PV modules are also in different orientations, I created separate cases for each of these combinations. All these cases are...
