Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) model developed by Rosner et al. Energy Environ. Sci., 2023, 16, 4121 doi.org/10.1039/d3ee01077e

Functions

main(config)

Calculates the capital, fixed O&M, and owner's costs for a Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant or a Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) plant.
h2integrate.simulation.technologies.iron.rosner.cost_model.main(config)#

Calculates the capital, fixed O&M, and owner's costs for a Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant or a Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) plant.

This function processes economic and performance data to estimate the total capital cost, fixed operational expenses, and other costs associated with a DRI and/or EAF plant based on the methodology presented by Rosner et al. (Energy Environ. Sci., 2023, 16, 4121, doi:10.1039/d3ee01077e).

The function uses predefined coefficients and refits cost models if needed. It also considers various cost components, including labor, maintenance, property tax, installation, and consumables.

Parameters:

config (Config) -- A configuration object containing parameters such as plant capacity, operational year, plant life, product selection, site information, and performance data.

Returns:

pandas.DataFrame --

A DataFrame containing cost estimates with columns:

  • "Product": The product type (e.g., 'ng_dri', 'h2_dri', 'ng_eaf', 'h2_eaf').

  • "Name": Cost component name.

  • "Type": Cost category (e.g., 'capital', 'fixed opex', 'other').

  • "Unit": Currency unit and reference year.

  • "Value": Estimated cost for the given category.
