My paper A Financial Worksheet for Computing the Cost (US¢/kWh) of Solar Electricity Generated at Grid Connected Photovoltaic (PV) Generating Plants was published in the Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, August, 2002, Vol. 124, Page 319. ABSTRACT (English) This paper discusses the technical, financial, and economic principles underlying the levelized cost method of computing the cost of solar electricity. Topics include the levelized cost method, solar radiation, solar panel efficiency, depreciation, cost of capital, fixed and variable operating and maintenance costs, and taxes. The paper includes the worksheet, ‘‘Levelized Cost Worksheet for a 1 kW Solar Electric Generating Plant.’’ Its benchmark values are for a model solar plant located in Chicago, IL. The paper discusses these benchmark values as it analyzes the worksheet’s constants (capacity-1 kW, 8,760 hr/yr), independent variables (capital cost-$/kW, cost of capital-%, physical life-yr, standard sun hours, fixed and variable O & M expense), and dependent variables (capital amortization expense, capacity factor, cost of solar electricity). SYNTHESE (FRANÇAIS) Cette étude aborde les quatre points de la Note de Kreith et Isler du Journal of Solar Energy Engineering d’Août 2002, Commentaires concernant la politique de l’hydrogène énergie et les énergies renouvables. Cette étude compare les émissions de carbone (gm-CO2/mile) du parc américain actuel de voitures particulières à essence (GV) avec un parc de voitures particulières à hydrogène. L’étude utilise différentes méthodes pour calculer le contenu en carbone (gm-CO2/gal-H2) du carburant de la voiture à hydrogène (HVF) produit par l’électrolyse de l’hydrogène (HE). Le contenu en carbone de l’électricité (gm-CO2/kWh) nécessaire pour faire marcher l’électrolyse (HE) est utilisé pour calculer le contenu en carbone du carburant de la voiture à hydrogène (HVF). Les performances du carburant (mpg) du parc américain actuel des voitures particulières à essence (GV) et celle du parc proposé des voitures à hydrogène (HV) sont utilisées pour calculer les émissions de carbone des deux flottes. Les quatre points de Kreith et Isler sont démontrés pour l’hydrogène(H2) de l’électrolyse (HE). Les équations et la liste des abréviations figurent dans cet article. 23 October 2007
