Question:

(a) What is the COE for a turbine with the following assumptions: 5 MW rating \(31 \%\) capacity factor \(\$ 1250 / \mathrm{kW}\) turbine cost \(\$ 91,000\) operations and maintenance cost/year Fixed charge rate of \(9 \%\) BOS costs of \(\$ 1,999,999\) Levelized replacement costs of \(\$ 135,000 /\) year

(b) If a gearbox replacement was required every 5 years at a cost of \(\$ 600,000\), what would the COE be?

How much (in percent) does the COE increase due to the gearbox replacement?
