configuration of storage tank and backup fossil fuel for heat process parabolic

I am currently trying to perform simulations of parabolic channel concentrators for industrial heat. However, I have some doubts about the operation of the software:

1.- Is it possible to limit the number of hours of operation avoiding that the storage system discharges all the energy immediately and keep it for very cloudy days?

2.- Is it possible to simulate using a support heating system in series and not in parallel?

I appreciate your response in advance. Greetings.

1. No. For the industrial process heat parabolic trough model, it is not possible to control how thermal energy from storage is dispatched.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by "support heating system." Can you clarify?

Best regards,
Paul.
