可再生能源（RES）的成功很大程度上取决于这些项目的经济性。可再生能源目前是首选的电力生产来源，主要是因为可再生能源发电比其他能源便宜。对可再生能源项目的经济可行性进行适当评估是一个极其重要的问题。在本章中，我们主要关注可再生能源经济评估的两个方面：电力生产成本和用于评估项目经济利益的指标。提出了用于研究贴现生产成本的指标——平准化能源成本（LCOE）的经济计算模型。经济决策是基于经济评估指标，即净现值（NPV）和内部收益率（IRR）。本文介绍了这些指标以及其他不常用的指标，并讨论了它们的应用。为了计算上述经济指标，能源生产是必要的。使能源生产独立于装机容量更为实际。这是通过利用系数和容量系数来实现的。本章强调了这些技术指标的重要性。
The success of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is strongly dependent on the economics of these projects. RES are currently the preferred source of electricity production mainly because producing electricity from RES is cheaper than the alternatives. The proper assessment of the economic viability of RES projects is a matter of utmost importance. In this chapter, we are concerned with two main aspects of the economic assessment of RES: the electricity production cost and the indexes used to evaluate the economic interest of the projects. Economic models are proposed to compute the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE), the indicator that is used to study the discounted production cost. Economic decisions are based on economic assessment indexes, namely the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). These indicators, together with other less-used ones, are introduced and their application is discussed in this text. To compute the said economic indicators, energy production is necessary. It is more practical that energy production is made independent of the installed capacity. This is achieved by means of the utilization factor and capacity factor. The importance of these technical indicators is highlighted in this chapter.
