Adding concentrated solar power plants to wind farms to achieve a good …
2.4. Economic analysis of renewable energy systems The method chosen for assessing the economics of the renewable energy systems was to calculate the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for the different systems. According to Gielen (2012), the LCOE of an electrical power plant can be represented by the following equation: (2) LCOE = ∑ t = 1 n …
