Parabolic through (physical) HTF inertia was created by Bousofa

Hello,

i am working on a CSP Parabolic through model and i have troubles with the HTF inertia, is there a way to control the HTF inertia or is it a fixed value?
my other question is: how can i change my plant's hours of production (hours of the day)?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

The HTF inertia depends on the HTF properties and operating conditions.

You can use the dispatch control inputs on the Thermal Storage page to determine timing of energy delivery from storage.

Best regards,
Paul.
