Can we analyze the performance of packed bed or thermocline type thermal energy storage as I can only see two tank system?

Hello,

SAM's Thermal Energy Storage (TES) model for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems only models two-tank systems. It does not model other types of thermal storage systems.

Best regards,
Paul.
