Template for Levelized Cost of Energy, Project Finance Model and Power Plant Emission Calculation

This December 2010, your energy technology selection and business development consultant/expert is providing his avid readers and fans a very good bargain.

Marcial is going to offer low cost templates for various power generation technologies to determine electricity tariff and for renewable energy the feed-in tariff.

He will also offer power plant emission calculation models which the user may modify given the actual fuel properties and chemical analysis.

So hurry up. This is a limited offer. Email me right now to avail of the huge discount on the template models that are user friendly and could be user modified. 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 »
