Economic Analysis, Financing and Modelling for Renewable Energy Course
Introduction:
Economic and Financial analyses are essentially used to determine the costs incurred and the resulting benefits from investing in a project
Economic and Financial Analysis of Renewable Energy is a course that will work through analysis of different renewable technologies including LCOE, pricing for renewable energy projects, resource analysis and financing.
Economic Analysis, Financing & Modelling for Renewable Energy training course will be hands-on where participants take turns sharing the screen and demonstrate how you can construct renewable analysis and evaluate materials that incorporate a variety of economic and financing issues.
The course puts emphasis on practical techniques with current data and covers batteries as well as corporate PPAs. The outline below is separated into five different online sessions.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this Economic Analysis, Financing & Modelling for Renewable Energy training course, you will be able to:
- Incorporate energy storage and battery analysis in the analysis of renewable energy from an energy storage perspective and an ancillary service point of view
- Learn practical tools to analyse renewable energy including efficient tools to work with wind, hydro and solar data; create flexible scenario and sensitivity analysis to evaluate resource risk, construction risk, O&M risk and debt structuring; develop techniques to resolve circular references related to funding debt and sculpting debt without copy and paste macros.
- Understand the implications of project finance features in the context of renewable energy (sculpting, debt funding, debt size, DSCR, DSRA, debt tenor, re-financing) on costs and equity returns from renewable energy.
- Develop efficient ways to quickly compute the levelised electricity cost of different technologies using carrying charge factors and alternative financial models.
- Work through resource assessments and compute the probability of achieving different levels of production (P90, P75 etc.) using hands-on exercises for different types of projects to effectively review consulting studies.
- Create flexible and transparent financial models of renewable energy from A-Z that incorporate resource risk, financing structure, tax treatments, alternative pricing policies and other factors.
- Evaluate the economics of renewable energy (including ancillary services) in the context of merchant markets and review the structure of corporate PPA contracts.
