Buy my project finance models, visit my country, and learn one-on-one to use my models

That’s right. Order and buy now my project finance models this November till December and take advantage of my holiday deals.

Once you have paid via PayPal or wire / bank transfer to my local bank account, I will then email to you the project finance model.

Then take the first flight to Manila and I will meet you at the Airport (NAIA Terminals 1, 2 or 3).

Alternatively, send me my airline ticket and hotel booking charge to your account, and I will fly to your work place and conduct the seminar/workshop to you and your other interested staff.

I will then take you to your hotel and conduct the one-on-one seminar/workshop where you will learn project finance and power plant and financial modeling for conventional (hydro, geothermal, coal thermal, oil thermal, gas thermal, combined cycle gas turbines), renewable (biomass, solar, wind, mini-hydro, ocean thermal energy conversion), nuclear and energy storage power generation technologies.

Feed-in Tariff (FiT) to be issued by March 2011

Feed-in Tariff (FiT) to be issued by March 2011

The government thru the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) is targetting to come up with the feed-in tariff (FiT) rate scheme by the end of March this year (2011), a top Department of Energy (DOE) official said.

The FiT is the price per kWh sold that will be paid to all renewable energy (RE) developers and power generators for puting up these intermittent power generation plants. It shall be fixed for 15 years and shall be subject to review every 3 years with the possibility of lowering the FiT as technology and economy of scale improves. It is, however, prospective, and applies only to future RE projects, thus protecting the earlier RE investments from regulatory and pricing risks arising from technological improvements. The RE technologies being intermittent are thus considered must run and will be dispatched when available and transmission and distribution system operators are obliged to ensure that investments are made to ensure their safe and stable connection into the grid.

How to use biomass for energy and power

Here is my reply to an avid reader requesting for advice on how to use biomass effectively in his home town.

—————–

Hi Jeff,
For biomass waste-to-energy and waste-to-power applications, you may utilize biogas from human waste, kitchen, commercial waste, biodegradable industrial wastes and farm and animal wastes. More »

Evaluating Renewable Energy Potential and Project Economics Made Easy

Evaluating Renewable Energy Potential and Project Economics Made Easy

Your energy technology selection expert wishes to announce the latest release of renewable energy (RE) project finance and energy resource evaluation tools, specifically for evaluating the performance of RE hybrid combinations such as minihydro-diesel, solar PV-diesel, wind-diesel PV and biomass gasification-diesel generation for off-grid as well as on-grid systems.  The model will calculate the RE resource potential, predict the annual generation, and then calculate annual average capacity factors.

For off-grid, the model evaluates also the optimum fossil fuel back-up support so that the RE (minihydro, solar, wind, biomass) hybrid system will provide 24/7 hours of affordable and reliable electricity service.

Don’t waste your time evaluating the RE potential using obsolete and un-integrated software that are site and technology specific.  In just a few minutes and few hours, you could run a series of wind site evaluations which compares the wind power levelized selling price (tariff) to your country’s diesel power generation cost or feed-in tariff.

It’s now the right time to change to the fully-integrated multi-site RE hybrid evaluation tools. More »

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Power Project

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Power Project

This is a power point presentation with a project finance model for calculating feed-in tariff (FiT).

The FiT is a renewable energy charge paid to renewable energy (RE) developers for providing power to the grid.  It is paid for by the Transco operator who collects a renewable energy charge (REC) from all consumers of electricity in the country.  By being spread out to all consumers, the burden of a higher FiT compared to the average grid rate is shared equally by all citizens and consumers alike since they will benefit from the positive impact of RE on global warming and climate change issues.

Feed-in Tariff Calculator – from simple RP MTO formula to project finance model

Yes, you are right.  A feed-in tariff calculator using the modified US NREL formula for levelized cost of energy (LCOE) or levelized cost of electrity is available from you Energy Technology Expert – Marcial Ocampo.   (Please refer to my previous articles on simplified formula for LCOE.)

In addition, we prepared a more sophisticated project finance model to calculate the feed-in tariff using the discounted cash flow internal rate of return method (DCF IRR). More »
