Abstract:
This work evaluates the effects of economic conditions\' variations on the costs and viability of floating photovoltaics, a novel solution where modules are installed on or above water. A sensitivity analysis of key economic criteria is conducted across multiple European countries, first generating country-specific baseline scenarios and then introducing systematic variations into the input parameters. The results show that capital expenditure and electricity prices, which have both experienced significant variations in recent years, have the largest influence on the net present value and the internal rate of return. Similarly, capital expenditure and discount rate are found to be the most influencing factors for the levelized cost of electricity. Overall, this study contributes to the literature by identifying the correlations between the economic variables and the viability of floating photovoltaics. The findings can be used to assess the effectiveness of potential government policies and support mechanisms and to evaluate the viability of this technology under varying national and international economic conditions.
摘要:
这项工作评估了经济条件变化对浮动光伏的成本和可行性的影响,一种新颖的解决方案,其中模块安装在水上或水上。对多个欧洲国家的关键经济标准进行了敏感性分析,首先生成特定国家的基线情景,然后在输入参数中引入系统变化。结果表明,资本支出和电价,近年来两者都经历了重大变化,对净现值和内部收益率的影响最大。同样,资本支出和折现率是影响电力成本水平的最大因素。总的来说,本研究通过确定经济变量与浮动光伏发电的可行性之间的相关性,为文献做出了贡献。研究结果可用于评估潜在政府政策和支持机制的有效性,并评估该技术在不同的国家和国际经济条件下的可行性。
