Use
The solar thermal power plant maps large scale parabolic systems.
Parameters and Connectors
As with the solar thermal model, ▶EnvironmentConditions and the heat source must be connected via ▶Flow and ▶Return. The model contains an internal controller that keeps the heat sink flow temperature at the reference flow temperature set via the ▶THeatSink input. To ensure this, an internal circulation pump is also included to dissipate the generated heat. A sufficient maximum volume flow (qvMax) must be ensured to prevent the modules from overheating.
Model Background
The internal structure of the model is shown in the following illustration.
