Topik Kuliah :
• Total cost: The total cost of producing Q MWh of electricity (takes units of dollars);
• Average cost of energy: The average cost of producing one MWh of electric energy (takes units of
dollars per MWh)
• Average cost of capacity: The average cost of one MW of electric power capacity (takes units of
dollars per MW)
• Marginal cost of energy: The incremental cost, in dollars per MWh, of producing an additional
unit of electric energy.
• Variable costs are those that change when output changes. Examples of variable costs for power
generation include the cost of fuel, the cost of labor or materials, costs to start up and shut down
plants, and some types of environmental costs.
• Fixed costs are those that remain at a fixed amount no matter how much electricity the plant
produces. Examples of fixed costs include capital, some types of labor costs, insurance and land
• Note: The cost of capital and the cost of fuel are the biggest drivers in overall power
plant economics. The relative importance of fuel and capital costs vary widely by
technology

Example capital and operating costs for power plants *
* Exclude subsidies, incentives, or any "social costs" (e.g., air or water emissions)
Because of the apparent tradeoff between capital and operating cost, comparing the overall costs of
different power plant technologies is not always straightforward. Often times, you will see power plants
compared using a measure called the "Levelized Cost of Energy" (LCOE), which is the average price per
unit of output needed for the plant to break even over its operating lifetime

The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE)
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE): is the net present value of the unit-cost of
electricity over the lifetime of a generating asset. It is often taken as a proxy for the
average price that the generating asset must receive in a market to break even over its
lifetime.
Sensitivity of LCOE for several generation technologies to 20% increase in cost of CAPEX
Capex component of LCoE
Changes in solar LCOE related to changes in solar capex component. Each point represents 20% change of the
capex component relative to the previous point
OPEX Component on LCoE
Sensitivity of LCOE for several generation technologies to 20% increase in both fixed and variable OPEX
