My Model doesn't produce energy by the end of the day, even if i have a DNI

Hi Team,

i am modeling a CSp physical through plant, i took the code from SAM and exported it to Matlab to make few adjustment, and it's working great. however, i'm using a 15 minutes time step weither file, and i noticed that my thermal power produced gets to zero ' timesteps (1hour in total) before my DNI, GHI and DHI, so i tried to change my solar field parameter to get it to produce in those time steps but with no results.
does anyone have an idea of what can be the cause? or wether we can control the solar field production time?

thank you in advance for your help

Hi Bousofa,

I would recommend getting the input parameters set up so that the system performs as you expect in SAM, and then exporting the code for the working set of inputs to MATLAB for further exploration. It is easier to see the effect of interdependent inputs in the SAM interface than in in MATLAB.

Best regards,
Paul.
