modelSolarField_Soltigua
Solar field model with Soltigua collector
Information
The SolarField_Soltigua model is based on the same modeling concept of the SolarField_Forristal model.
The dynamic one-dimensional radial energy balance around the heat collector element is represented by the AbsSoltigua model.
In this model the dimensions of the collectors are fixed and the user can choose the configuration of the solar field:
The model allows to defocusing the collectors based on the internal focusing signal.
