Consider the following information for a wind farm: 300 MW wind farm. Fixed costs - $1.2 M/MW, Operating Costs/kWh $1500/MWh, Class 4 wind site, 33% capacity factor, 10 miles to grid≈ $350,000/mile, 6%/15 year financing, 100% financed, Hence consider this interest rate on total cost for 15 years, 25 year project life, Determine Cost of Energy – COE.

1. Average US energy consumption rate is 4.4*10^9 MWh. Suppose you are involved in project to establish a wind farm called "The great western wind farm" which will supply all the electrical energy need of US per year. The individual wind turbine units that would be used are rated at 2 MW, have a rotor with a 100 m diameter, and will be spaced 3 diameters side to side, 10 diameters front to rear which would result in the giant...

The developer and owner of a shopping mall is planning to install solar PV panels on the roof top. Project Costs: The 100-kw system will cost $225,000 to install on 600 m2 of space available on the roof top. It will have a useful life 20 years and a salvage value of $2,000. Annual operations and maintenance cost will be $1,500. Energy output: Based on Singapore weather conditions, the system is capable of producing 170,000 kwh of electricity in the...

Consider a wind energy project that produces 594 GWh/yr and is able to sell this at a cost of $0.12/kWh. The project will also receive income in this year from the PTC, at a value of $0.024/kWh. The annual operating expenses come out to be $0.009/kWh plus a fixed amount of $216 thousand. The project is able to depreciate 11.52% of its total installed cost (which was $356 million) in this year, and it can write off the interest paid...

1/ A retrofit project is estimated to cost $250,000. The energy savings are expected to last 10 years. The retrofit is expected to save 325 MWh per year. Assuming a discount rate of 6%, and an electricity cost of $0.15/kWh: a/ What is the net-present value of the system (4 marks)? b/ What is the equivalent cost of the saved energy (4 marks)?
4. For an energy source with constant energy production and no operating cost, the levelized cost...
4. For an energy source with constant energy production and no operating cost, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) per kilowatt hour (kWh) can be calculated as: annualized capital cost annual kWh production The annualized capital cost is like a mortgage payment, an annual cost that includes paying both the principle and interest (or opportunity cost of capital) over the life of a project. This can be calculated as: Annualized capital cost = K where K is the capital cost,...
