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 »
New Simplified Calculation Procedure for Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Feed-in Tariff
New Simplified Calculation Procedure for Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Feed-in Tariff
As part of the on-going technical preparations for the proposed mini-conference on the Mindanao Power Crisis this coming late August or early September 2010 and the main conference on “Energy & Climate Change”, the workshop coordinator, Mr. Marcial T. Ocampo, has prepared the simplified calculation procedure for calculating the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and levelized selling price (tariff) for conventional and renewable energy resources.
The result of the simplified formulas using the US NREL formula for generation cost and the RP MTO formula for selling price were compared with the results from a full-blown project finance model and the variance between the two methods were minimal in most of the power generation technologies analyzed.
The input data came from the IEPR research summary of 2007 and from internationally published data on power generation technology by noted experts such as Paul Breeze and yours truly, Marcial Ocampo. More »

Feed-in Tariff Calculator – from simple RP MTO formula to project finance model
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 »
New Best Entrant Project Finance Model with VAT – landfill, diesel, coal, oil, natgas
New Best Entrant Project Finance Model with VAT – landfill, diesel, coal, oil, natgas
A new “Best New Entrant” project finance model with value added tax (VAT) has been developed to analyze which of the following technology such as landfill gas to power, diesel engine, coal thermal (pulverized, CFB), oil thermal or natural gas CCGT is the best new entrant providing overall effectiveness in terms of first year tariff and equity returns.
To order, simply proceed to the ENERGY DATA page of this blog and select large scale models, then order via PayPal the desired model.
Alternatively, you may confirm your order via email, then I will email you my local bank details where you may send via wire transfer the payment.
Upon receipt via PayPal or my local bank account, I will then email you two copies of the ordered models.
