Hello,

For the IPH Trough model, SAM dispatches energy from the thermal energy storage system to try to maintain the heat sink power at its design power.

You can see how TES power is dispatched by looking at the "TES discharge thermal power" variable on the Time Series or Data Tables tab of the Results page.

Best regards,
Paul.
