| Apibūdinimas: | A merchant generator is choosing between constructing a wind plant or a solar plant. The merchant generator can only afford to build at most one plant. It can sell its power to the wholesale market for $0.10/kWh during peak hours and $0.04/kWh during off-peak hours. Both plants have a 200-MW capacity and a 20 year expected life. The wind farm costs $750/kW to build while a solar plant costs $500/kW. The cost of capital is 10%. O & M costs are $0.05/kWh for the wind plant and $0.03/kWh for the solar plant. It is up to you to choose a value for fuel costs. At the end of the plant lifetimes, there is a one-time cost to dismantling the wind plant of $10 million, and a one-time cost of $5 million for the solar plant. Assume wind has a 40% capacity factor while solar has a 25% capacity factor. All of the wind power occurs off-peak, while 35% of the solar energy is produced during peak hours. There are 8760 hours in a year. All capital costs are paid up-front. a) Which plant has the lower levelized cost? Show all work, including any spreadsheets. b) Which of the two plants do you recommend constructing, if either? Show all work, including any spreadsheets.
