Container power generation valuation calculation

What is a model for power plant valuation?

In this paper, we describe a model for power plant valuation that accounts for such important operating characteristics as minimum on- and off-times, ramp time, nonconstant heat rates, response rate and minimum electricity dispatch level. The power plant values and optimal operating policies are obtained by employing stochastic dynamic programming.

Can real options theory be applied to value power generation assets?

In this paper, we describe how real options theory may be applied to value power generation assets. In particular, the model we develop is capable of handling constraints related to minimum on- and off-times, ramp times, minimum dispatch levels and response rates.

How do you evaluate energy storage technologies?

Evaluating technical merits (e.g. cost, efficiencies, lifetime, and duration) of different energy storage technologies considering various aspects such as material, structure, chemical process, and manufacturing. Optimization and evaluation for the grid and end-user applications are not provided.

How does deregulation affect power generation assets?

Deregulation of energy markets has dramatically changed the environment in which many power generation asset owners operate. In particular, utilities have become increasingly exposed to extremely volatile energy prices. Mismanagement of this risk exposure, even for an efficient power producer, may have a severe impact on its financial position.
