Ahmad,

Have you an idea of the type and configuration of solar power plant you are interested in?

Dear Prof. Mohammedi

My main concern is about CSP however other types, such as parabolic trough etc., are also important for me to know. 

Could you provide any information please?

Thanks

Dear Ahmed,

All the information required is strongly depends on different details such as type of CSP plant, configuration of the system and location of the system (weather data). So, you need to add more specifications to you inquiry.

with best wishes  

Dear all, 

I really think these questions are general and may be applied for any kind of solar power plants. Thus, just give me your opinions about any kind of data or solar power plant that you know about.

Thanks

Dear Ahmad,

it will very depend of the purpose of your simulation. If you want to model a CSP system for control purposes (i.e. to calibrate PID controllers, for model-based control investigation, etc.), you will need to account for the fastest dynamics in your power plant. Typically, for large- and medium- scale CSP systems (which have higher inertia), a minute or 5-minute time step should be sufficient, while for small scale power plants (
