Solar aided coal-fired power

Hello dear Paul,

I just started with SAM. For my PhD research, in using SAM I hope to realize parabolic trough aided coal-fired power plant model simulation and I know that this type of hybrid system is not available in SAM, So I want to use parabolic trough (Only solar field and oil/steam exchanger) without power block and thermal storage because I only need solar field output parameters.I need help to realize this simulation. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Seyni

Hi Seyni,

You may want to consider using the industrial process heat trough model:
