Economic Evaluation Type

When you configuring wind farm budget estimation and power sales parameters:

  • Associate budget estimation scheme: Select associated budget estimation scheme. Its information such as cost, power production hours, capacity is automatically synchronized. Both designed and customized budget estimations are supported. The result can be applied directly in automatic generation of feasibility study report.
  • Customize budge estimation parameters and wind farm parameters: Directly input the estimated cost, power production hours, capacity.

The regulations to set up economic evaluation parameters are listed in the following table:

Economic Evaluation Parameter Parameter Setup Principle Wind Farm Project Economic Evaluation Standards 2016

Parameter Setup Recommendation

(If the project has special requirements, it is recommended to fill in the parameters based on the actual condition)

Interface Parameter Benchmark on-grid wind power price (RMB/kWh) Benchmark on-grid power price published by the nation Fill it in based on the project condition
New energy subsidy power price (RMB/kWh) New energy subsidy = benchmark on-grid power price - local benchmark coal fuel power price of current year Fill it in based on the project condition
New energy subsidy deferral time New energy subsidy deferral time Fill it in based on the project condition
Other subsidy power price Outgoing self-built power price subsidy and other subsidies Fill it in based on the project condition
Other subsidy deferral time Other subsidy deferral time Fill it in based on the project condition
Power consumption time range of corporate user Set it up based on the power price time range purchased by corporation Refer to the peak, valley, and flat time range of local great industry power consumption
Power price of sale & consumption enterprises Refer to the current power sales price of enterprise and give a discount Refer to the power price discount defined by enterprise, and the discount can be set as 95%
Ratio of wind power sales

Sold to enterprise user: Calculate the ratio of enterprise user according to enterprise power load and power production.

Sold to grid: Generally, the redundant power other than that sold to enterprise user can be delivered to grid.
