Economic and Technical Background

摘要: This chapter provides some background on technical details and economic variables that are necessary for assessing investments in energy assets. We introduce concepts can be employed measuring the profitability of power stations. Regarding coal- natural gas-fired stations operating under carbon constraints, we present clean dark spread spark spread. The approach similarly extended to case with a gasification plant, also those generate electricity from renewable resources. Numerical values parameters involved taken official statistics commodity markets. Note futures contracts commodities have maturities up six years into future. draw these data sources, but sometimes rounded since ultimately aim develop realistic examples (not real cases). focus mainly average values, yet could derive risk profile number projects through simulation.
