Some problems with the parametric simulation

Some problems with the parametric simulation was created by Wengpin
Hi Paul,

Recently when I want to simulate the LCOE for different combinations of TES storage hours and solar multiple using parametric simulation, it shows that the LCOE will change with the storage hours but not with solar multiple. 

However, when I go back to the system design panel and change the solar multiple values, the final LCOE did have changes, is there any solution to this issue?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Weng Pin.

Hi Weng Pin,

For the Physical Trough model, you should use the specified_solar_multiple variable for parametric simulations instead of solar_mult.

Also, be sure to choose Option 1 on the System Design page.

Best regards,
Paul.
