Dear Paul,

For our analysis, we need to have the receiver surface temperature, but SAM does not provide that.
Is it the same as DELSOL3 (480 c) or you have modified that?

We also need the receiver tube surface temperature for parabolic trough systems, any idea how to get that?

Many thanks,
Mehdi

Dear Mehdi,

SAM's concentrating solar power (CSP) models report heat transfer fluid temperatures at various points in the system, but not the temperatures on receiver and other surfaces.

SAM uses DELSOL 3 for the power tower field optimization calculations.

The purpose of SAM is to calculate a power system's electrical output for a techno-economic analysis. It is not designed as a detailed engineering model.

Best regards,
Paul.
