I'm trying to simulate a very simple field with the physical ptc model, for my application i require no thermal storage and no power cycle. is there any way i can run the Rankine power cycle as a plain heat exchanger instead? or eliminate it completely?

Hi Maria,

The "Parabolic Trough - Heat" model should work for your application. You can set the hours of storage to eliminate storage, and this model does not have a power cycle.

Best regards,
Paul.
