[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS Simulation Fresnel & steam

[Jeff Thornton]

Lucio,

The current models in the TESS Libraries do not include the option for two phase flow in the solar collector models.  If this is of great interest, we could prepare a quote to perform the necessary changes to allow for steam.

Let me know!

However, as a first step I would be interested (if it is possible) to simulate the boiling process within the Fresnel collector as a direct steam generator (DSG). Have you developed any library that can simulate that effect?

Have you considered keeping the collector loop isolated from the steam loop and utilizing a steam generator to create the steam?  Many of the large solar power plants utilize this concept.

In this tank, it is possible to define the pressure. However, I have seen that in the solar collector field it is not possible to fix the outlet pressure, only the Cp can be modified.
