TES Packed bed in parabolic trough CSP was created by Guillermo Manuel García Díaz
Hi,I'm working with the packed bed TES model for a parabolic trough CSP system in SAM, and I noticed that the "TES discharge thermal power (MWt)" values are much higher than the "Estimate max TES discharge thermal power (MWt)" (see attached screenshot).Shouldn't the estimated value represent the upper limit? Is this expected in the packed bed model, or could it indicate a problem in the configuration?Thanks in advance!
