Hi,
i was trying to simulate a CSP system. But i got stuck at the outset because there is this field called "Location Information" and i have to put the data such as latitude, longitude time zone and weather information file. But i am not allowed to do so. can someone help me please???

Thank you paul..Also how can i simulate only the process heating part through the CSP technology rather than electricity generation. But all the options available are that for electricity generation only!!!

Hello,
SAM's CSP models are designed to model electric power generation systems, however, you can ignore the power cycle outputs if you are only interested in the system's thermal output. However, be mindful of the effect of the power cycle on SAM's simulation algorithm. SAM adjusts the solar field's output depending on the power cycle's load: It defocuses the collectors in the field to reduce field output during periods when the power cycle is at full load and there is excess energy available from the field.
Please see these other discussions for more on this: Using SAM to Model Steam Production
Best regards,
Paul.
