LFR Geometry

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your continuous support.

In the collector and receiver page, can we control or modify the width of the collector and/ or the spacing? if not, what is the default value that SAM is using? it might be according to a famous collector manufacturer!

Thank you again,

Hi Ahmed,

You should be able to change the Linear Fresnel collector dimensions on the Collector and Receiver page:

 

The linear Fresnel model requires an efficiency table to characterize the optical efficiency of the field.

See the "Linear Fresnel" section of the CSP Publications page for links to papers describing the model:

sam.nrel.gov/concentrating-solar-power/csp-publications.html

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your continuous help.

I previously read the Publications and it is really helpful. but my only question about the collector's dimensions is the WIDTH and SPACING. Is there any way to modify and simulate that?

Thanks
