LCOE

Dear Paul,

Please tell me if LCOE that is simulated in sperate table after running simulation is for first year only and if its fixed each year or not.and if the price in euro or in cent where i have to compare between it and price of conventional systems?

for example while simulate plant of 50 Mwe in Aswan, Lcoe is 20.21 cent/kwh and in plant of plama del rio /spain is 39.14 c/kwh

Thanks

Dear Saeed Aziz,

The LCOE is a "levelized" cost, which means it represents the cost over the entire project life, similar to the net present value. For the PPA financial models, the "PPA price" reported in the metrics table is a Year 1 value.

By default, all currency values in SAM are in dollars.

Best regards,
Paul.
