1 Solar Bankability Webinar 22 November 2016 PV Investments Cost Benchmarking & Gap Analysis LCOE Simulation & Sensitivity Analysis Mauricio Richter, Caroline Tjengdrawira (3E) Funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union
2 Project Overview European Union Horizon 2020 Work Programme 24 months (March 2015 February 2017) Main Objective: Develop and establish a common practice for professional risk assessment which will serve to reduce the technical risks associated with investments in PV projects 5 consortium partners 2
3 Presentation Outline Data and results: Benchmarking current practices and gap analysis Risk ranking and LCOE sensitivity analysis 3
4 Deliverable 3.1 Highlights Task 3.1 Surveys on Benchmarking Current Practices 18 survey financial models Ground-mounted PV plants FR, UK, DE, IT Developed between 2011 and EPC and O&M contracts Ground-mounted and rooftop PV projects FR, UK, IT and NL Developed between 2014 and LTYA reports and scientific literature 11 Observations on current practices Summary of technical assumptions in present-day financial models for PV 1. For PV LCOE, the CAPEX contributes to a significantly larger portion (~75-90%) to the lifecycle costs than the OPEX. 2. There is neither a unified method nor a commonly accepted practice for translating the technical parameters of plant components, performance and reliability into lifecycle costs. 3. The EPC and O&M costs make up to a large portion of the CAPEX and OPEX (70-90% and 30-70%, respectively); the technical details in the EPC and O&M are decisive for managing the technical risks in PV project investment. 4. Risk mitigation measures should be selected with an objective to minimize the LCOE by optimizing the balance between the CAPEX and OPEX. 5. The overall uncertainty on estimated lifetime energy yield is typically assumed to be between ±5% and ±10%. 6. The solar resource variability is one main technical source of uncertainty impacting mainly the risk assessment associated with the cash flow during a single year. 7. PV systems are often not built according to the design used for the initial yield assessment study overthrowing the initial project risk assessment. 8. The use of in-house developed PV modeling tools may lead to flaws in lifetime energy yield calculations. 9. The degradation rate is commonly assumed constant over time although this may not be the case and thus can lead to unexpected deviation in cash flow over the years. 10. Exceedance probabilities (e.g. P90) are typically calculated by assuming a normal probability distribution of e.g. annual irradiation around the expected value; the use of a cumulative distribution function based on long-term resource measurements may be more appropriate in this case. 11. Not all technical risks should be mitigated through technical measures. Financial or legal mitigations should be considered as alternatives. 4
5 Deliverable 3.1 Highlights Task 3.2 Gap Analysis of Current Practices 20 Identified technical gaps in different project phases Comparing current practices to: State-of-the-art scientific data; Top 20 technical risks identified in WP1 and WP2. See full report here Risk Phase/field Identified critical technical gaps Year-0 Risks during operation Procurement/ product selection and testing Planning/ lifetime energy yield estimation 1. Insufficient EPC technical specifications to ensure that selected components are suitable for use in the specific PV plant environment of application. 2. Inadequate component testing to check for product manufacturing deviations. 3. Absence of adequate independent product delivery acceptance test and criteria. 4. The effect of long-term trends in the solar resource is not fully accounted for. 5. Exceedance probabilities (e.g. P90) are often calculated for risk assessment assuming a normal distribution for all elements contributing to the overall uncertainty. 6. Incorrect degradation rate and behavior over time assumed in the yield estimation. 7. Incorrect availability assumption to calculate the initial yield for project investment financial model (vs O&M plant availability guarantee). Transportation 8. Absence of standardized transportation and handling protocol. Installation/ construction Installation/ provisional and final acceptance Operation Maintenance 9. Inadequate quality procedures in component un-packaging and handling during construction by workers. 10. Missing intermediate construction monitoring. 11. Inadequate protocol or equipment for plant acceptance visual inspection. 12. Missing short-term performance (e.g. PR) check at provisional acceptance test, including proper correction for temperature and other losses. 13. Missing final performance check and guaranteed performance. 14. Incorrect or missing specification for collecting data for PR or availability evaluations: incorrect measurement sensor specification, incorrect irradiance threshold to define time window of PV operation for PR/availability calculation. 15. Selected monitoring system is not capable of advanced fault detection and identification. 16. Inadequate or absence of devices for visual inspection to catch invisible defects/faults. 17. Missing guaranteed key performance indicators (PR, availability or energy yield). 18. Incorrect or missing specification for collecting data for PR or availability evaluations: incorrect measurement sensor specification, incorrect irradiance threshold to define time window of PV operation for PR/availability calculation. 19. Missing or inadequate maintenance of the monitoring system. 20. Module cleaning missing or frequency too low. 5
