Renewable repowering scenario calculator

Calculate incremental yearly cashflows and undiscounted incremental net value with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Choose the currency for these amounts. Changing it keeps your numbers and does not convert exchange rates.

Use incremental yearly cashflows and undiscounted incremental net value to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Incremental yearly cashflows (JSON)

Compare constant old/new annual yields; deduct first-year lost generation and capital cost; no escalation or discounting.

Undiscounted incremental net value (USD)

Compare constant old/new annual yields; deduct first-year lost generation and capital cost; no escalation or discounting.

Incremental generation over horizon (kWh)

Compare constant old/new annual yields; deduct first-year lost generation and capital cost; no escalation or discounting.

Symbols and units

c
Repowering capital cost (USD)
d
First-year outage loss (kWh)
e
Energy value (USD/kWh)
f

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Compare constant old/new annual yields; deduct first-year lost generation and capital cost; no escalation or discounting. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
