TcslinearFresnel¶

Wrapper for SAM Simulation Core model: cmod_tcslinear_fresnel.cpp

Input Consistency Warning¶

As described in Possible Problems, some input parameters are interdependent but the equations that enforce consistency are not available in this PySAM module. Therefore, the onus is on the PySAM user to check that interdependencies are correctly handled. The variables which may require additional logic include:

ColAz

I_bn_des

P_boil_des

P_turb_des

Pipe_hl_coef

T_amb_des_sf

T_cold_ref

T_hot

azimuth

demand_var

eta_ref

nLoops

nModBoil

nModSH

q_max_aux

q_pb_des

solarm

system_capacity

Provided for each of these inputs is a list of other inputs that are potentially interdependent.
