Title: Quality Guide Energy System Studies: Introduction to Performing a Techno-Economic Analysis for Power Generation Plants

Abstract

The QGESS: Performing a Techno-Economic Analysis for Power Generation Plants provides guidelines on performing a techno-economic analysis (TEA) of power generation processes. The report includes guidance on preparing a technology analysis plan (TAP), a design basis, performing the technical analysis, performing the economic analysis, and information that should be reported. This guideline references numerous reports that provide examples of TEAs and provides a short description of most of the QGESS reports listed on this web page that provide useful information for specific aspects of performing a TEA.
