Input Data for Calculating Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for Renewable Energy

Input Data for Calculating Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for Renewable Energy

Your energy technology selection expert and author of this blog has standardized the input data requirements for calculating feed-in tariff (FiT) for Renewable Energy (RE) sources such as biomass, cogen, mini-hydro, wind and solar.

Please refer to the snippet of the input worksheet below.

Thanks,

World Energy Technology Series 3 – COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (COGENERATION, TRIGENERATION)

World Energy Technology Series 3 – COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (COGENERATION, TRIGENERATION)

Your energy technology and pricing expert is releasing issue #2 on Advanced Coal Technologies.  This series will focus on energy technologies (fossil, renewable, nuclear, storage) by giving information on the energy resource, basic principles, energy conversion technology, overnight capital cost ($/kW), operating and maintenace costs (fixed O&M $/kW/yr, variable O&M $/kWh), maintenance and overhaul schedule (to determine capacity factor and availability), outage rate and reliability, construction lead time, economic life, conversion efficiency (input energy to output power or heat or cooling), fuel heating value (gross and net BTU/lb, kJ/kg, BTU/scf, kJ/Nm3, BTU/gal, kJ/liter), fuel costs ($/MT, $/kg, $/bbl, $/liter, $/MMBTU, $/GJ) in order to arrive at its levelized price and levelized generation cost of energy. The benefits and risks of each technology is also presented. I encourage the reader to follow this series.

A complete power point presentation may also be obtained from this link to complement this article. More »
