Levelized Cost and Levelized Avoided Cost of New Generation Resources in the Annual Energy Outlook 2018
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This paper presents average values of levelized costs and levelized avoided costs for generating technologies entering service in 2020, 2022,1 and 2040 as represented in the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) for the Annual Energy Outlook 2018 (AEO2018) Reference case.2 The costs for generating technologies entering service in 2022 are presented in the body of the report, with those for 20203 and 2040 included in Appendices A and B, respectively. Both a capacity-weighted average based on projected capacity additions and a simple average (unweighted) of the regional values across the 22 U.S. supply regions of the NEMS electricity market module (EMM) are provided, together with the range of regional values.

Cost and performance analysis of an integrated solar combined cycle with two tanks for indirect thermal energy storage
In this paper, the annual and economic performance of an integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) with indirect energy storage tanks is investigated. The study includes four scenarios, in which the combined cycle performance was studied exclusively in the first scenario. In the second scenario, the integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) was examined, and the use of supplementary firing instead of...
متن کاملEconomic, Social and Environmental Assessment of Electricity Generation from Renewable and Gas Technologies
Growing demand for electricity and the reduction of fossil fuels have made it essential to consider alternative and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, to generate electricity. In this paper, by computing levelized output energy cost and levelized cost of electricity, the prices of electricity generated from the different combined cycle, wind, and photovoltaic power plants are com...
متن کاملExergy and Thermoeconomic Analysis for an Underground Train Station Air-Conditioning Cooling System
The necessity of air-conditioning causes the enormous energy use of underground train stations. Exergy and thermoeconomic analysis is applied to the annual operation of the air-conditioning system of a large underground train station in Taiwan. The current installation and the monitored data are taken to be the base case, which is then compared to three different optimized designs. The total re...
متن کاملSupply Characterization of Hydro-geothermal Resources in the Western U.s
Efforts to characterize geothermal supply have long been focused on the aspect of power generation [Petty, et al., 1992], [Petty, et al., 2007], and [Augustine, et al., 2010]. This paper focuses on an approach to characterize the supply curve of hydrogeothermal energy that can be used for direct use in the United States. It aims to compensate for the absence of research on thermal uses and prov...
متن کاملThe Role of Logistics in Practical Levelized Cost of Energy Reduction Implementation and Government Sponsored Cost Reduction Studies: Day and Night in Offshore Wind Operations and Maintenance Logistics
This paper reveals that logistics make up at least 17% of annual operational expenditure costs for offshore wind farms. Annual operational expenditure is found to vary by a factor of 9.5, making its share of levelized cost of energy for offshore wind range from 13% to 57%. These are key findings of a 20-month research project targeting cost reduction initiatives for offshore wind systems. The f...
