🧂 Molten-Salt Storage: Two Tanks, Daily Dispatch and Standing Heat Loss (2D)
A solar tower plant with a hot and a cold molten-salt tank and a steam power block, simulated over three days. Set the tank size, hot and cold temperatures, power block size and efficiency, the solar multiple, the hours of generation per day and the wall heat loss, and see the stored heat, the hours of storage, the block capacity factor and the heat lost. The solar input, the energy balance, the salt heat content, the tank sizing and the idle cooling are checked numerically, with four in-page numerical checks.
