This will only trigger once at 8:36 as 15min after sunset is only then. I do not think you can do what you want without the Easy Trigger plugin or removing the 15m after sunset so you could do if the time is after sunset and before 10:05 as this is an option or if you have the Easy Trigger plugin then you can set it to be after sunset + 15m.Zwave = Z-Stick, 3xHSM100� 7xACT ZDM230, 1xEverspring SM103, 2xACT HomePro ZRP210.
X10 = CM12U, 2xAM12, 1xAW10, 1 x TM13U, 1xMS13, 2xHR10, 2xSS13
Other Hardware = ADI Ocelot + secu16, Global Cache GC100, RFXtrx433, 3 x Foscams.
Plugings = RFXcom, ActiveBackup, Applied Digital Ocelot, BLDeviceMatrix, BLGarbage, BLLAN, Current Cost, Global Cache GC100,HSTouch Android, HSTouch Server, HSTouch Server Unlimited, NetCAM, PowerTrigger, SageWebcamXP, SqueezeBox, X10 CM11A/CM12U.
Scripts = Various

It appears the "Time is 15m after sunset" would be the limiting factor. Can you change that temporarily to time is after 8:40PM or something to test.
As Greig wrote, Easy Trigger schedule would be the easiest, or even an Easy Trigger Condition. Otherwise a Virtual Device would be the best.

Another thing to consider: Your trigger has to be checked every minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Which may be a drag on your performance. (Even though the trigger is checked, your conditions will stop the event from actually running.)
One other possibility (besides the preferred Easy Trigger) would be to disable the event outside of the time you want it to run, and only enable it 15m after sunset.

As Grundcm asked - does the event ever trigger at all as you currently have it set?

Easy Trigger makes it easy to do what you are trying
But the Event is a little problematic. It will run every minute between sunset +15 and 10:05PM. That is a little busy. I'm curious why you want to keep checking. I would do this - create an easy trigger schedule:
Use the schedule in an event
If there are times you want this event to run outside of when it is 15 minutes after sunset, run it from another Event honoring conditions.
