Methodology for Analysing Electricity Generation Unit Costs in Renewable Energy Sources (RES)

Due to the constant trend of building wind turbine sets and photovoltaic cells, the so-called renewable energy sources, it is important to develop a mathematical model that will allow us to analyse the economic viability of their operation. By using this model, multivariate calculations should be ca...
