Hi Paul,

what's differences between Field fraction of focused SCA and Field optical focus fraction in Trough model?

it seems that sometimes they are the same, while others are not.

kind regards
Joey

Hi Joey,

Field optical focus fraction is a signal from the plant controller that causes the field to defocus when the TES/cycle cannot accept all of its heat output.

Field fraction of focused SCAs is the field optical focus fraction + local receiver defocus required to maintain receiver HTF mass flow rate at the “Max single loop flow rate” on the Solar Field page.

Best regards,
Paul.
