Project Finance Model for Determining the “Best New Entrant” Power Generation Technology

In proposing a new power plant project to address a supply deficiency problem in a given grid, it is important for the project proponent and developer to demonstrate to the investors as well as to the regulator and end-users that the proposed power generation technology solution is the “best new entrant” that will address the power deficiency and provide the cheapest, reliable and stable electricity service.

Project Finance Model for Generic Diesel & RE Hybrid Power Plant

The determination of optimal combination of diesel and renewable energy (RE) hybrid power plant is sometimes a difficult exercise for the project developer and EPC contractor.

After an inventory of the available fuel and RE resources in a particular location and application, the next step is to determine thru project finance modeling the economics of a stand alone diesel generator power plant (usually a compression ignition diesel engine running on expensive diesel fuel, gas oil, light fuel oil and bunker fuel oil), and considering a hybrid configuration using biomass resources (biomass gasification with diesel engine, landfill methane with diesel engine, sewage digestion or biogas with diesel engine, municipal solid waste with steam turbine generator, biomass direct combustion with steam turbine generator, biomass co-firing with fossil coal and oil, mini-hydro, wind farm and solar PV).

Project Finance Model for Hybrid Power Plant / Multi-fuel System with CDM

Project Finance Model for Hybrid Power Plant / Multi-fuel System with CDM

During implementation of a project feasibility study for a natural gas pipeline that will serve an anchor load 250-500 mw natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), it was felt that additional market for the excess Malampaya natural gas (300 mw surplus plus banked gas for sale) needs to be developed to improve the economics of the pipeline.

Doing a market, technical and feasibility study for this end-use conversion economics will thus entail developing a robust project finance model that is versatile enought to handle conversion of existing power generation and steam/process heat technologies (coal fired, bunker fired, diesel fired diesel electric generators, steam and process heat equipment, refrigeration) to natural gas firing.

The author, an energy technology and business development consultant, has prepared an Incremental Economics Conversion Model for comparing a base case (existing coal-fired or oil fired generation, process heat, refrigeration and air conditioning equipment) versus a more energy efficient, less polluting and cheaper to operate natural gas-fired equipment.
