Techno-economic analysis of fixed versus sun-tracking solar panels

open access: yesInternational Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2023
The potential output of photovoltaic (PV) panels is influenced by several factors, including the direction of solar radiation from the sun toward the panel’s surface.

Performance optimisation of parabolic trough solar thermal power plants – a case study in Bangladesh

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2020
In this paper, parabolic trough solar thermal plants are proposed. Two key parameters, solar multiple (SM) and full load hours of thermal energy storage (TES), are optimised by maximising the annual energy and minimising the levelized cost of electricity

D6.2 Modelled LCoE for the X-ROTOR

open access: yes, 2023
The objective of this report is to provide estimates of the XRotor Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE). This report employs an LCoE tool adapted by UCC from their LEANWIND financial model (Devoy McAuliffe, et al., 2018) (Judge, et al., 2019). The tool and LCoE methodology are presented in Section 2.

A Review of the Levelized Cost of Wave Energy Based on a Techno-Economic Model

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Wave energy provides a renewable and clear power for the future energy mix and fights against climate change. Currently, there are many different wave energy converters, but their costs of extracting wave energy are still much higher than other matured ...

Optimization of Wind Farm Design for Objectives Beyond LCOE

open access: yes, 2020
For wind farms that participate actively in electricity markets versus receiving a fixed kiloWatt-hour payment, design and operational objectives must go beyond the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) to account for system value and profitability of the farm

The Economic Feasibility of Floating Offshore Wave Energy Farms in the North of Spain

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
A technique to analyse the economic viability of offshore farms composed of wave energy converters is proposed. Firstly, the inputs, whose value will be considered afterwards in the economic step, was calculated using geographic information software ...

Influence of the structural integrity management on the levelized cost of energy of offshore wind: a parametric sensitivity analysis

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
The levelized cost of energy (LCoE) is an important measure to quantify the macro-economic efficiency of an offshore wind farm and to enable a quantitative comparison with other types of energy production. The costs of the structural integrity management
