Method used
Delivered energy equals charged energy multiplied by round-trip efficiency and the annual degradation factor. Annual avoided-purchase value is reduced by the export credit forgone, O&M, and entered replacement costs. NPV discounts each year’s net cash flow to year zero.
Planning estimate only. This is not a time-series dispatch model and does not determine tax eligibility, tariff eligibility, demand-charge savings, outage probability, equipment life, warranty compliance, or engineering suitability. Verify inputs with the utility, equipment provider, tax adviser, and project engineer.
