Power tower restricted optimization was created by Xavi

In the new version of SAM, new optimizations algorithms of the solar design have been introduced. None of them allows for a restricted optimization (say for example an optimization with a restriction in the maximum tower hight) as could be done in the old SAM version (up to v 2014/1/14) with the DELSOL based optimization tool.
Is it possible to implement a restricted optimization with the new SolarPILOT optical tool?
Thanks

Hello,

You are correct that it is not possible to restrict the optimization to a maximum tower height in SAM 2014.11.24 and later as it was in the earlier DELSOL3-based versions.

I will add this to list of feature requests for a future version.

Best regards,
Paul.
