Hi Mukhtar,
Thank you for attaching the file.
The parametric simulations in your file are set up for TES hours of storage (tshours) and solar multiple (specified_solar_multiple) rather than location, so I could not verify your observation that the results are the same for different locations.
To set up a parametric simulation for location:
1. Download and add the weather files you want to use for the simulations using the tools on the Location and Resource page.
2. On the Parametrics page, for Number of runs, type the number of locations you want to include in your parametric simulations.
3. Choose Location (solar_resource) as an input variable:
4. Click a cell row in the "solar_resource" column of the parametrics table, and choose the weather file from the solar resource library. This list of weather files is the same as the list you see on the Solar Resource page.
5. Then click Run simulations to generate results.
Best regards,
Paul.
