Hi!
My question has 2 parts-
1. The process schematics of IPH trough and IPH power tower molten salt show a power cycle. Instead, I guess they should show a heat sink (an endothermic reaction, maybe?) that gets heat from the solar field, and thus no electricity is produced.
2. I am trying to model a system that produces high temperatures after concentrating sunlight at a receiver (from heliostats). This high-temperature heat is transferred to a cold molten salt (or any other HTF), which then supplies its heat for a reaction that requires around 1000 C. I understand that the solar salt would decompose at these high temperatures. Is there a way to model this in SAM? Please let me know.
Thanks!
