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 »
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 »
