The Overall Plant Cost result screen displays a single table with columns which total the annual fixed, variable, operations, maintenance and capital costs associated with the power plant as a whole. These columns correspond with the rows of a standard total cost result table . The costs summarized on this screen are expressed on an annual average basis and are provided in either constant or current dollars for a specified year, as shown in the Status Bar.

Each row corresponds with a technology:

•CO2 Capture, Transport & Storage: The total cost of all the CO2 capture, transport and storage modules used.

•Power Block: The total cost of the power block without consideration of any abatement technologies. The Power Block contains the air compressor, gas turbine, steam turbine and heat recovery steam generator areas.

•Post-Combustion NOx Control: The total cost of all the Post Combustion NOx removal modules used.

•Subtotal: This is the cost of the conventional and advanced abatement technology modules alone. This is the total abatement cost. The subtotal is highlighted in yellow.

•Cooling Tower: This is the cost of the cooling tower modules.

•Land: This is the total cost of land required for the plant.

•Emission Taxes: The total cost of taxes assessed to stack emissions.

•Total: This is the total cost of the entire power plant. This result is highlighted in yellow.
