Economic analysis including
life-cycle analysis
The purposes of a Level 2 study are to:
•
Replace the assumptions used in the Level 1 feasibility
analysis with verified data to identify optimal CHP system
configuration and sizing, appropriate thermal applications,
and economic operating strategies.
Estimate final CHP system pricing.
. Calculate return on investment.
The outcomes of a Level 2 study are:
•
•
Pricing estimates for construction and operation and
maintenance of the CHP system.
Existing and projected utility rate analysis.
Final project economics, including simple payback and life-
cycle cost analysis of the investment.
The goals of a Level 2 study are to:
•
Ensure that the recommended CHP system meets the
operational and economic goals of the investor.
Provide all the information needed to make a final investment
decision.
