tcsmolten_salt example failed in SDK

Paul

Next question with tcsmolten_salt. I now encounter the following error:

tcsmolten_salt error [ 2 ]: unit 3 () type 'sam_mw_pt_type222' failed at initialization

I notice a post from 2012 (re receiver convective losses) that refers to the source for sam_mw_pt_Type222.f90 being available in the sam installation folder but can't find it in my current versions (maybe the packaging has changed).

Kind regards

I've obtained the source from a Windows version so will look at the code to see if I can work it out.

Kind regards

Hi AnGus,

The TRNSYS source code files are available with SAM 2014.1.14 and older versions. Later versions no longer rely on the TRNSYS simulation engine, but do use essentially the same code (translated to C++) with a few modifications in some cases.

Best regards,
Paul.

I've progressed to where tcsmolten_salt is returning an array of (8760) 'nan' values for gen (hourly generation). I'll work through the variables I've set to see if I can solve the problem but any clues would help.

Kind regards

Hi AnGus,
Would you mind [url=mailto:sam.support@nrel.gov?subject=tscmolten_salt%20output%20NaN t=_self]emailing me[/url] a copy of the script that generates those errors? My colleague promises he won't wait as long as last time to look at it.
Thanks,

Paul.

Paul

On it's way

Kind regards
