Description
Some IPH models have an Installation Costs page for LCOH configurations
- IPH MSPT
- IPH MSLF
Some CSP and IPH models have Installation Costs for No Financial configurations:
- CSP MSPT
- IPH MSPT
- IPH MSLF
These cost inputs are required by some IPH/CSP performance models in SSC, so must be provided for LCOE/H and No Financial configurations.
However, these also include a Construction Financing input page, which creates a potential conflict/confusion with the construction cost input on the Financial Parameters page for the Fixed Charge Rate (FCR) Method (LCOE/H Calculator). Consider removing Construction Costs page if it is not needed by the performance models.
Example .sam files: construction-financing-files.zip
(In the future, we may want to add an Installation Costs to all LCOE/H Calculator configurations to allow users to use more detailed cost categories than the single "Total Capital Cost" input to the FCR model.)
