Comparison of Different Energy Options for Future Electricity Generation

Potential energy options for future electricity generation are assessed by comparison of levelised unit electricity cost of new base load power plants. Power plants selected for comparison are combined natural gas and wind plants, coal-fired power plant and nuclear power plant. The cost of electricity generation is certainly a very important factor in accepting a power plant project. In order to make an appropriate calculation of the cost of generated electricity, it is necessary to include plant costs and load factors during the plant lifetime. Large uncertainty in the future fuel costs makes planning of optimal power generating mix very difficult to justify. Probabilistic method is used in the analysis which allows inclusion of uncertainties in future electricity generating cost prediction.
