HOMER extrapolates these costs as needed, so if you model a system with three wind turbines, the associated capital, replacement, and O&M costs would be three times the values entered in the cost table. Enter a quantity of one, along with the per-turbine capital, replacement, and O&M costs. If each wind turbine costs the same regardless of how many you purchase, you only need to enter one row of data in the cost table. In the Costs table, enter the wind turbine's cost curve in as much detail as you want. When specifying the capital and replacement costs, be sure to account for all costs associated with the wind energy system, which may include: In the Costs table on the Wind Turbine page, the capital cost is the initial purchase price for a turbine, the replacement cost is the cost of replacing the wind turbine at the end of its lifetime, and the operation and maintenance cost is the annual cost of operating and maintaining the turbine (typically 2% of the capital cost). On the Wind Turbine page, you can manage information for the model. On the Wind Turbine Set Up page, select an option from the drop-down list, which contains all the wind turbine types stored in your Component Library.Ī summary of the selected wind turbine's properties appears in the space below. To add a wind component, click the Wind Turbine button under the Components tab in the toolbar. Maintenance: Consider maintenance tasks, costs, and downtime.
This page also provides access to the following tabs:
The Wind Turbine page allows you to choose the type of wind turbine you want to model, specify its costs, and tell HOMER how many turbines to consider as it searches for the optimal system.
