Hello,

You are in the Matlab program used for the modelling of the hybridization of combustion power plants with 
concentrated solar power. This solar version is based on a previous Matlab program built for the project 
"Thermal cycles" with Maxime Lejeune.

/!\ In order to access the graphical interfaces, go in the file "Graphical interface access" then, double click on 
the "Launcher_GUI" matlab code and choose the combined cycle graphical interface or the gas turbine graphical 
interface. It is preferable to not run both interfaces at the same time. 

/!\ These graphical interfaces only work on the Matlab version R2015b or newer versions.

/!\ For more details about the modelling of the standard combined cycle and of the standard gas turbine 
(without solar field) please consult the Report of the the project "Thermal cycles" in the attached files. 
Nevertheless this report is in french. The code is also available in the files "Combined" and "Turbine". 
The names of the main matlab function are "Turbine_sol_suppl" (mode exhaust heat exchanger before solar exchanger)
for the gas turbine and "combine_3p_sol_1" (mode only evaporator hybridized) for the combined cycle.

/!\ For each interface, a help button at the top left of the window is available to familiarize with the interface.
It is highly adviced to click on the help button. The help pictures are also accessible below this README file.
A "Display general layout" button is also available to show the pace of the modeled cycle. The figure is only used
for information purposes, the numberings of state are not necessarily the same.

/!\ The default parameters are the parameters of the master thesis report, excpet the parameter "pinchrad" in the 
combined cycle interface that needs to be changed depending on the hyrbidization mode.

Enjoy :)
