During my simulations using SAM 2022.11.21 for a CSP plant with a solar tower and molten salt TES, I observed an unexpected behavior. Despite programming the control system for a maximum load equal to the nominal value (for the power block), I noticed that when the hot tank reaches full capacity, the pumps exhibit a slightly higher flow rate than the nominal setpoint (See attached figure. Mass flow TES cold out in blue, Mass flow TES hot out in orange, and TES charge state in brown). I am curious to understand the reasons behind this phenomenon. Are there specific considerations, whether related to performance, costs, or other factors, that could explain or justify this behavior?
