Excel-based models for thermo-economic analysis of 10 MW PV, CSP and CSP/PV hybrid plants
software
posted on 2023-09-14, 10:26 authored by Annitta AttiehExcel-based tools developed for the techno-economic evaluation of 10 MW PV, CSP and hybrid CSP/PV power plants. A number of Excel files are included that calculate the power output of standalone CSP and CSP/PV hybrid plants based on calculations from NREL's System Advisor Model, optimize the dispatchable power output for standalone CSP and CSP/PV hybrid options, and perform a cost benefit analysis based on the financial model and generated output values.
