4 FAQs about Calculation method for container power generation valuation

What is a model for power plant valuation?

In this paper, we describe a model for power plant valuation that accounts for such important operating characteristics as minimum on- and off-times, ramp time, nonconstant heat rates, response rate and minimum electricity dispatch level. The power plant values and optimal operating policies are obtained by employing stochastic dynamic programming.

How do I develop a valuation tool for energy storage?

Provide technical parameters and relevant data for three example use cases that could be used in a valuation tool. Identify a list of publicly available DOE tools that can provide energy storage valuation insights for ESS use case stakeholders. Provide information on the capabilities and different options in each modeling tool.

How do you value energy storage?

Valuing energy storage is often a complex endeavor that must consider different polices, market structures, incentives, and value streams, which can vary significantly across locations. In addition, the economic benefits of an ESS highly depend on its operational characteristics and physical capabilities.

Can real options theory be applied to value power generation assets?

In this paper, we describe how real options theory may be applied to value power generation assets. In particular, the model we develop is capable of handling constraints related to minimum on- and off-times, ramp times, minimum dispatch levels and response rates.
