Waste To Energy

Attribute	Unit	Data type	Description
deployment	–	bool	If set to ‘true’, the technology will be considered in the energy system model (this does not necessarily mean it will be used). Only relevant for optimisation.
kW_el_max	kW_el	str/float	Maximum electrical power output.
force_cap_max	kW	bool	Force implementation of maximum capacity specified in kW_el_max. Only relevant for optimisation.
cap_min_use	kW	float
annual_msw_supply	kg/year	str
hv_msw_MJpkg	MJ/kg	float	Lower heating value of municipal solid waste (MSW).
eta_el	–	float	Electrical conversion efficiency.
htp_ratio	kW_th/kW_el	float	Heat-to-power (htp) ratio (kW_th/kW_el)
msw_price_CHFpkg	CHF/kg	float	Price of municipal solid waste. Will usually be negative (i.e. revenue).
co2_intensity	kg CO2/kWh	float	Carbon-dioxide intensity of technology output (annual average value).
lifetime	years	int	Expected lifetime of technology before replacement is required.
capital_cost	CHF/kWp	float	CAPEX cost of technology per unit of capacity.
maintenance_cost	CHF/kWp/year	float	OPEX cost of technology per unit of capacity.
interest_rate	–	float	Interest rate for computing levelised costs (if required).
