Thus, the cost of capital makes up a significant part of the lifecycle costs of RE projects; for example, in recent years, for solar photovoltaics (PV) in Germany the cost of capital totaled 12–37% of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) (Egli et al., 2018). In developing ...
In Ghana, a country with sizeable renewable energy resources, harnessing these sources is crucial for sustainable development. This study examines Ghana's renewable energy potential, focusing on solar and wind energy resources. Using the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) calculated based on the ...

Low energy efficiency rating of the air-conditioners is a major contributing factor to their high electricity consumption.This present work has conducted studies on the energy efficiency of air-conditioners used in the offices of public and commercial buildings in Ghana. Technical data from a ...
The average cost of electricity and bandwidth in Ghana is estimated at USD 0.32/kWh and USD 0.88/GB, respectively. The assumption is made that 24,000 insecure IoT devices are hacked and used in a DDOS attack for one hour. The combined estimated cost of bandwidth and electricity was found ...
The results indicated an LCOH from USD 0.79 to 1.68/kg and an LCOE between USD 0.531 and 1.627/kWh. Ahshan et al. [23] conducted a sensitivity analysis on combined electricity and hydrogen generation in Oman. They found an LCOH from USD 3.37 to 6.13/kg and an LCOE between USD 0.0349...
The LCOE is the average cost per unit of electricity generated by a particular plant. It is calculated by dividing the present value of the total generation cost of the facility by the present value of total power generation. The LCOE allows the evaluation of the costs in relation to the ge...
