MSPT Cooling System

Hi Paul!

Have you received any info about this?

Thank you again,
Javier.

Hi Javier,

We just fixed this issue for the next version of SAM. In the meantime, you can work around the problem by using a weather file with wet bulb temperature data.

github.com/NREL/ssc/issues/301

If your file does not have wet bulb temperature data, you could edit your weather file and add a wet bulb temperature column with the label "twet". SAM is supposed to do the calculation automatically, but that was not working for the power tower model. Here is a link to an article (Martinez 1994) describing the method SAM uses to calculate wet-bulb temperature from dry-bulb temperature, atmospheric pressure, and relative humidity data.
