Technical Manual for the SAM IPH Linear Direct Steam

Hello!

Is there any technical documentation about the models and equations used in the IPH Linear Direct Steam model?
I've found the "Technical Manual for the SAM Physical Trough Model" document and some articles, but I couldn't find more in depth information about the calculations.

Giovani.

Dear Giovani,

You can find a list of technical manuals for SAM's CSP and IPH models on the CSP Publications page:

sam.nrel.gov/concentrating-solar-power/csp-publications.html

The IPH Linear Direct Steam model uses the same solar field model as the Linear Fresnel CSP model, so you can use the Wagner (2012) publications listed under "Linear Fresnel" as a reference.

Best regards,
Paul.
