Hi Paul
Thank you for prompt response.
Abu Dhabi latitude is 22. The number '68' came from 90-22=68 in my understanding.
I am trying to simulate parabolic trough based 50 MW power plant for Pakistan. While in-putting info to SAM, parabolic trough physical/ solar field section, Collector Orientation sub section, it asks for 'Collector Tilt" and 'Azimuth'. I have tried Tilt = 0 and Azimuth= 90-33.5=56.5. (33.5 is the latitude for my location). However, it is giving me following error;
exec fail(trough_physical): At time = 270000, CR_OFF__PC_OFF__TES_OFF__AUX_OFF failed
Simulation trough_physical failed :The calculated field design mass flow rate of 2773.02 kg/s is greater than the maximum defined by the max single loop flow rate and number of loops (2172.00 kg/s). The design mass flow rate is reset to the latter.
gen not assigned
Simulation grid failed :gen not assigned
SSC requires input 'gen', but was not found in the SAM UI or from previous simulations
Simulation utilityrate5 failed :precheck input: variable 'gen' (System power generated) required but not assigned
SSC requires input 'annual_energy_value', but was not found in the SAM UI or from previous simulations
Simulation cashloan failed :precheck input: variable 'annual_energy_value' (Energy value) required but not assigned
Would be grateful if you can explain whats wrong here.
Best Regards.
