Flowsheet for the CSP linear Fresnel Molten Salt model used by SAM with labeling the streams using the hourly data variables

Dear SAM support team


I'm little bit confused about the Linear Fresnel molten salt model on SAM, I can't match the results hourly data with the flowsheet streams that I'm using(I attached the flowsheet that I'm using), I think that my flowsheet is very simple and wrong, so can you please provide me a detailed process flowsheet of the Linear Fresnel molten salt model on SAM with labeling the flowsheet with the hourly result variables(ex. Cycle HTF temperature in(hot)(C),Cycle HTF temperature out(cold)(C),TES HTF temperature HX field side hot(C)...etc) to have a complete understanding of the process.

I really appreciate your help, thank you very much.

Best Regards

Hamza

Please I need help with this.

Dear Hamza,

For diagrams of system configurations for both the molten salt and direct steam linear Fresnel models in SAM, please see the documents listed under "Linear Fresnel" on the Performance Model Documentation page:

sam.nrel.gov/performance

For descriptions of the model inputs, please see SAM's Help sytem.

Best regards,
Paul.

Dear Mr.Paul

Thank you very much for your response, but unfortunately the documents that you refereed me to are not so much useful to me since they are most concentrated on the solar field variables. What I'm actually looking for is to understand the whole linear Fresnel molten salt modeled in SAM, as a whole flow sheet(ex. how the fluids are flowing, streams connections...etc) it can be great if you can provide me with a process flowsheet block diagram of the linear Fresnel molten salt process that is used in SAM so I can understand the process as whole(ex. a block diagram with the stream connections and labels).So can you please provide me with such figure that shows all the blocks and there stream connections.

I really appreciate your help

Best Regards

Hamza
