Capital Expenditure

← Previous | Next →

The parameters on the Capital Expenditure parameter screen define the financing parameters used during the construction of hydrogen plants. These parameters have a major impact on the costs of the overall plant. The following parameters are available:

•Capital Expenditure Period: This parameter defines the Capital Expenditure Period for construction.

•Distribution of TOC: These parameters define the percentage distribution of the Total Overnight Capital (TOC) (before escalation) allocated to each year of the capital expenditure period. Here, n represents each year within the user-defined Capital Expenditure Period.

•Year n: This parameter defines the percentage distribution of the TOC (before escalation) allocated to Year n. N ranges from 1 to the capital expenditure period.

•Total: The sum of the yearly TOC distributions must equal 100%. This value is read-only, and is shown strictly for reference.

Note:

Since the sum of the yearly TOC distributions is required to be 100%, we do not recommend using any uncertainty on these parameters except for batch processing.
