COST ANALYSIS IN SMALL WIND PROJECTS

摘要

In the last years an increasing attention has been paid to distributed energy production from small wind turbines (i.e. (200 kWp). The market, especially in Italy, has grown up very rapidly in the last years (basically not existing since 3-4 years ago, now it counts approximately 8 MWp). The main purpose of the paper is therefore to provide a reliable cost analysis reference to design, plan and control a project, which also includes a correct estimation of the financial risk incurred by both EPC contractors and investors. For the firsts, it also represents a cash flow analysis tool useful for financial planning, while for the seconds it's useful for financial control.
