Parabolic Trough Steam Booster Heater was created by pgilman
I want to include in power cycle of the physical trough a steam booster heater, which will heat up the steam before it enters the turbine. Does SAM has such a component or it has only the HTF heater and steam heater needs to be created manually?
SAM models a backup boiler that uses natural gas to heat the HTF at the solar field outlet to maintain the fluid temperature at its design point. It does not model a steam heater in the power block.

Dear Paul,
Then how the steam booster heater can be added to SAM model?

Dear Vahan,
It is not possible to model a steam booster heater in SAM.

Dear Paul,
Is there any way to mimic the work of steam booster heater in SAM without modeling it?, booster heaters only function is to increase steam temperature from around 370 C to 540 C before steam enters the turbine, and booster heater works only when solar field operates at or exceeds design conditions.

Dear Vahan,
I am not aware of a way to model a steam booster heater in the CSP models.
You could use the performance adjustment factors to reduce the system's total energy output as a way to account for the booster heater's energy, but that would require that you estimate the heater's annual energy requirement outside of SAM.

Paul.

Dear Paul,
Is there any way to give Hourly Factor in Performance Adjustment section a value more than 1?
