Storage media selection in IPH Trough model

Hi Paul,

is it possible to add a function that allow users to select storage media in IPH Trough model? this function already been implemented in Trough(phys) model, sometimes we want to simulate cases which HTF in solar field wiil not be the same as in storage for some reasons.

kind regards

Hi Joey,

We do not have immediate plans or funding to make this change to the IPH trough model. This would require adding a heat exchanger component between the solar field and thermal energy storage system, and some testing.

Please consider making a feature request on the SAM GitHub repository:

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

ok, will do.

kind regards
Joey
