Dear Carlos,

That link is to a very old draft description of SAM's empirical trough model. Please see the Help system in the current version of SAM (also available as a PDF on the Download page at sam.nrel.gov/download) for instructions.

Also, the following post on the SAM Support forum may be helpful:

Best regards,
Paul.
