est_turbine_cost was created by Ivan
Hi,

I am trying by LK code simulate capital cost for several turbines.
Two questions:
1) ¿What is mean 'est_turbine_cost' (LK variable)?.
2) ¿How can I emulate button "Estimate turbine cost now" usign LK code? (See attcahment)

Thanks.

Hi Ivan,

I think your question is about the Wind model.

The 'est_turbine_cost' is an unused variable, so you should ignore it.

Here is an example script that shows how to run the LandBOSSE BOS cost model from LK.
Code:
// enable the LandBOSSE model set('en_landbosse',1); // check if LandBOSSE Python model is installed, install it if not outln( 'Checking LandBOSSE installation' ); // array of test values for distance between wind farm and interconnection point interconnect_distances = [ 5, 100 ]; // miles for (i=0; i<#interconnect_distances; i++ ) {  // set LandBOSSE input  set('distance_to_interconnect_mi', interconnect_distances[i] );  // run LandBOSSE  outln( 'Running BOS cost model for case ' + i );  run_landbosse();  // get LandBOSSE output  bos_cost = get('total_bos_cost_per_capacity'); // $/kW    // set SAM input  set( 'bos_cost_per_kw' , bos_cost ); // $/kW    // run SAM  outln( 'Running SAM simulation for case ' + i );  simulate();    // store results in a table  results{'bos_cost'}[i] = bos_cost;  results{'npv'}[i] = get('project_return_aftertax_npv'); // $ } // display results outln( results );


Best regards,
Paul.
