Influence of electricity Sample Clauses

Influence of electricity supply price‌ The electricity purchase price has the highest influence on the overall costs for DME production in the large- scale system (cf. Figure 13). The development of the electricity price is uncertain and depends on many factors, such as the regulatory framework, possible grid expansion, possible subsidies, etc. Thus, price assumptions are uncertain. To deal with the uncertainties a variation of the electricity purchase price is reasonable (from 0 €/kWh to 0.15 €/kWh). The resulting levelized costs of DME are linearly decreasing with decreasing costs for electricity (Figure 14, left axis, blue line). The total share of electricity supply costs increases exponentially until a purchase price of approximately 0.05 €/kWh is reached (Figure 14, right axis, yellow line). Again, this shows how this system parameter dominates other parameters. Figure 14: Levelized costs of DME as a function of the electricity purchase price
