Dear Paul,
In “Generic Solar System" we have the parameter called “Estimated solar field area”.
This parameter is calculated by the next equation?
Estimated solar field area=(1000000*"Solar multiple"*"Design gross output"(1+Reference thermal loss fraction")/("Solar resource at design"*"Total optical efficiency"*"Reference conversion efficiency")
But, when I go to results, I catch “Solar field thermal output”.
If I divided the last parameter that I have said by DNI (Direct Normal Irradiation), I have a number of m2 different of the number that I have seen in “Estimated solar field area”.
(I wanted to say this equation: "Solar field thermal output"/"DNI" ?"Estimated solar field area")
There is a factor (1.056) between them. I have changed other things but this factor is always employed.
Thanks in advance.
