sub-hourly meteo in solar tower model

sub-hourly meteo in solar tower model was created by Jesús Polo

I'm trying to run sub-hourly simulations (10-minute, 15-minute) for several CSP plant models; I make it only in parabolic trough, but for linear Fresnel and solar tower (direct steam and molten salt) the results are shown only in hourly basis. However, the results in hourly values are different when I used 10 min or 15 min or 60 min data, so I guess it is taking the first 8760 values of the weather sub-hourly file and the calculation is wrong, is this possible?

Thanks a lot for the support and help

Jesus
