I am simulating PARABOLIC TROUGH SOLAR POWER PLANTS, using Trnsys 17 and I chose type 1257 of the Tess Solar Library (Rankine Cycle coupled with a parabolic trough solar field), but I have some problem with convergence for more than 3 days. 1) To simulate Rankine cycle, I use the STEC Example ("stec_cyc.tpf") . 2) To complete the simulation, I add solar field model (STEC library) and TMY2 data. 3) I connect solar field to Superheater and to Economizer, in particular I want a HTF temperature of 390°C, varying mass flowrate of oil during the day and I assume HTF outlet temperature of economizer as HTF temperature input for solar field.
Did you have success in simulating the Parabolic Trough Model - Type 1257? Can someone help me, please.
Atenciosamente,
