Supercritical Brayton Power cycles for Parabolic and Fresnel CSP plants in SAM was created by luiscoco
Dear Sir,

I have just donwloaded and installed the latest SAM version available in NREL webpage.
I didn't find any option for simulating the Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Brayton power cycles in the Solar Power plants. Please confirm me if this option is already available and where is the option in the SAM software.

Best Regards,

Luis Coco Enríquez

Dear Luis,

Supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle, thermocline storage, and fossil backup are not available in SAM 2016.3.14 power tower model because of the new system control and optimization models.

For any of those features, please use the legacy SAM 2015.6.30 version.

Best regards,
Paul.
