How does new energy storage affect the operation and revenue of existing generation…
The Marginal Cost (''MC'') given in $/MWh is the summation of the fuel cost incurred per MWh and the variable O&M costs per MWh as shown in Eq.(11).The Heat Rate (''HR'') for each power plant—expressed in Btu/kWh and based on data from eGRID [39] — is used to estimate the fuel cost incurred to generate one unit of energy in MWh.
