Annualization of costs. All presented model results are performed for the year 2016. The following equation describes the annuity factor (af) (respectively the capital recovery factor (CRF)), which is solely based on the lifetime (T) and the interest rate (i): = ∗ (1+) . (1) (1+)−1 The annuity factor is used to annualize the investment costs for all system components. A global interest rate of 8% is used for both system concepts and all system components. The lifetimes of all technologies are listed in Table 2.
