Dear Paul,

The linear Fresnel molten salt model still giving  unspected results for the plant behavior.
Now I am simulating a 2 hours storage with a solar multiple 2 and the thermal storage is dispached several times after sunset, as shown in the next figure. For a storage capacity larger then 2.5 hours, this behaviour disapeares.

Please check this issue in the next revision.

Regards,

Rafaela

Dear Rafaela,

Would you mind sharing a .sam file that demonstrates this behavior?

Best regards,
Paul.

Dear Paul,

Please find attached the . sam  file. I changed the location (since I can't share the data), but the behaviour is similar.

Regards,

Rafaela

Hi Rafaela,

Thank you for sharing the file and letting us know about this issue. It turns out to be caused by a bug in the code that we have fixed for the next version of SAM. We are working now on that version and hope to release it late this year.

Best regards,
Paul.
