How the TOU period is calculated? was created by Juliette Marti

Hello, I'm working with a Python code, generated from the SAM GUI. It is a single-owner, solar tower power plant. I'm struggling with an error that I get with some dispatch matrix configurations:

Code:

tcsmolten_salt simulation error
                               : exec fail(tcsmolten_salt): The CSP ops Smallest TOU period cannot be less than 1

I understand that this has to do with the dispatch matrix I'm introducing, but I cannot find how the TOU period is calculated in order to change my matrix accordingly. So my question would be: how the TOU period is calculated?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Juliette,

Would you mind attaching the SAM file that generates that error so I can replicate the error?

Thanks,
Paul.
