Introduction to Functional Modules
- Project Overview:
Basic project information, including client name, project name, project cycle, carbon tax rate, project discount rate, geographic location of the project, project stakeholders etc.
- Project Resources:
Used for inputting project boundary conditions, including time series of all loads, electricity prices, various costs (Capex), energy density, calorific value, carbon content, etc.
- Model Configuration
Used for model selection,enabling users to drag and drop applicable equipment models according to actual project specifications. Users can define key model parameters, including:onit initial investment of equipment,operating costs, replacement costs,start-stop costs, rated power,ramp rate, power balance sheet,ambient, temperature, operational losses, scheduled start-stop times, Degradation factor, etc.
- Topology
Used for the construction of system topological logic. IGEP & IIEP supports the coupled topology of multiple energy sources such as cooling, heating, electricity, steam, and hydrogen energy, as well as multi-node networks. The software automatically identifies different types of energy networks and establishes connection relationships. For multi-node network topology, users can add or delete corresponding nodes and modify pipe network connection relationships according to engineering practices.
- Optimization Scheduling Settings
Including the configuration of simulation parameters and the selection of algorithms. According to project requirements, the computational step size can be set to 1/5/15/30/60 minutes. Different algorithms can be flexibly configured based on the project’s engineering attributes to meet the requirements of optimized operation.
- Simulation Status
Includes simulation progress and error prompts. The system estimates the calculation time based on the project's complexity level and dynamically updates the progress.
- Results View
Displays the system simulation results. According to different configurations selected by the user, it shows corresponding KPIs such as carbon emissions, LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy), initial project investment, life cycle cost, net present cost, annual operating cost, etc. Additionally, it presents a time-based view of the operating conditions of all equipment within the system over 8,760 hours throughout the year.
- Financial Analysis
This module encompasses financial analysis capabilities pertaining to critical financial KPIs. Drawing upon parameters specified by users, the solution assesses project KPIs such as Return on Equity (ROE), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period, Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and Net Present Value (NPV). The software enables diverse visual representations to provide a comprehensive overview of the investment return performance throughout the project's life-cycle.
