Life Cycle Cost Assessment and LCOE of 10.2 MW wind farm

Wind farm system is an exciting renewables energies sources, on all the plans. Wind turbines are now part of our landscape and which are developing at high speed. The expansion recent accelerated of wind farms is synonymous of a set of techno-economic constraints and ecological emit. This has resulted in the work on the improvement of the life cycles cost in order to achieve Balance in the levelized cost of energy. Renewable energies are among the goals of the Algerian government to reduce the production of energies through gas and coal by encouraging investment in green energies. The economic cost associated with the life cycles of renewable energies is a main problem that must be optimize. The life-cycle study simulates the chronology of a wind farm and the mechanism of the contribution of phases over the lifespan. Four phases are used manufacturing, transportation & installation, exploitation & operations, and finally dismantling and recycling. according on the cost of one kWh, this study is the subject of a real case which is the Kabertanne wind farm located in the W. Adrar who counts 12 wind power turbines, type G.52-850 kW. The results obtained respectively show the rates of contribution from each phase in relation to the total cost, which are as follows: 47.04%; 41.3%; 8.5%; 3.2%. To assess the effectiveness of the obtained results of LCOE, the LCA and Monte Carlo methods were used to compare the results.
