Useful energy gain by HTF

Hi Paul,

I am modelling Parabolic Trough CSP plant (Nevada Solar One) and I'm interested in finding the useful energy gain by HTF in the receiver. Can you let me know which data to look for in SAM output?

Thanks,

Zishan

Dear Zishan,
I would start by reviewing the hourly output on the SAM Results page. You can find that either on the Data tab or on the Time Series after you run a simulation. To understand more about how the physical trough model works, please refer to the reference manual listed on the Performance Model Documentation page .
Best regards,

Paul.
