SolarEPC Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 From previous questions I understand that all financials is considered on the Electricity Production Costs over the period of the model. I have a picked up that this is calculated from the PV generator potential kWh and not the actual direct own use of solar power. When considering actual load profiles and throttling at feed In point the financial on the LCOE / productuin cost is not correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hi SolarEPC, this is correct, for on-grid systems we calculate the electricity production costs using the total PV energy yield, not taking into account the maximum feed-in power clipping at the feed-in point or own consumption. Concerning the own consumption I'd guess that this is correct, since you can use the rest of the PV energy for other purposes like feed-in. Concerning the clipping at the feed-in point, I'd say you are right, since the clipped energy is really "wasted" and can't be used elsewhere. I'll discuss that with my colleagues and put it on our list. Thanks for the feedback, kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcSweeney Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hi Martin, Has there been any development on providing an LCOE(produced energy) and LCOE (consumed energy) within the model results? This would be a useful output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hi EMcSweeney, in the upcoming release PV*SOL premium 2022 R3, we will exclude the energy clipped at the feed-in point from the production cost. Hope that helps, kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
