Functions

main(config)

Runs a techno-economic analysis of a reduction plant using ProFAST.
h2integrate.simulation.technologies.iron.rosner_ore.finance_model.main(config)#

Runs a techno-economic analysis of a reduction plant using ProFAST.

This function retrieves cost data, configures ProFAST with financial assumptions, and calculates the levelized cost of processed iron ore. It processes capital, fixed, and variable operational costs while adjusting for inflation.

Parameters:

config (object) --

Configuration object containing input parameters, including: cost (object): Contains cost data in a DataFrame. site (dict): Contains site-specific parameters, including the site name. params (dict): Contains financial and operational parameters such as:

  • operational_year (int): The first year of plant operation.

  • installation_years (int): Duration of installation in years.

  • plant_life (int): Expected operational life of the plant in years.

  • gen_inflation (float): General inflation rate.

  • cost_year (int): The reference year for cost adjustments.

  • financial_assumptions (dict): Key-value pairs of financial assumptions.

Returns:

tuple --

A tuple containing:

  • sol (dict): Solution output from ProFAST, including the levelized cost.

  • summary (dict): Summary values from the ProFAST model.

  • price_breakdown (dict): Cost breakdown from ProFAST.

  • pf (ProFAST.ProFAST): The ProFAST model instance with applied parameters.
