Configuring Parameters and Running Calculation
In this section, two economic evaluation models and their configuration methods are introduced.
- Method 1: Associate budget estimation scheme The economic evaluation model is generated based on budget estimation scheme which provides cost and power production quantity of associated wind farm. Thus, you need to complete unit project design and budget estimation scheme calculation before economic evaluation. This method is the most accurate because the planning and sitting have been completed for the wind farm.
- Method 2: Customize budget estimation parameters After definition of unit static investment, for wind farm with turbine layout, the calculation can be done based on capacity and power production data acquired from the existing wind farm; for wind farm without turbine layout, calculation is performed based on manual input of wind farm parameters as capacity, equivalent full-load hours, static investment, etc.
