Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the Capacity Credit (CC) values on the economics of individual Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) projects in the light of the current Egyptian Renewable Energy (RE) regulatory incentive schemes. The methodology proposed in this paper is to assigns different CC values for WECS projects under study while keeping all other parameters whether technical or financial fixed for all projects to calculate the total annual project's revenue. The impact of both the regulatory incentive schemes and the latest updated structure of the electricity consumption tariff have been taken into account in the assessment. The outcomes of this study have been illustrated and the significance of the CC evaluation on economics of WECS projects has been highlighted, discussed, and concluded.
