System advisor model (SAM) simulation modelling of a concentrating solar thermal power plant with comparison to actual performance data

This paper is focused on the modelling and simulation of a 50 kW concentrated solar power (CSP) plant located in Crowley, Louisiana. The model was developed using system advisor model (SAM). The objective is to develop a predictive model (using SAM) to characterize the performance of the power plant...
