Technical-Financial Analysis (TFA) Model Version 2
The TFA model will provide the users with the information they need in making pre-investment decisions, and give a good indication about the viability of the projects (Internal Rate of Return, Net Present Value, and Pay Back Time). Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction can also be calculated. Using the TFA model will ensure a consistent comparison between cogeneration and alternatives for energy supply. Added facilities in the TFA version 2 are:
- Sensitivity analysis
- Taxation
- Depreciation
- Debt service
- Corporate projections for cogeneration plant in special purpose companies
- Improved user friendliness and guidance.
The model is intended for pre-evaluation of cogeneration projects and is implemented in standard Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Use of the TFA Model will require knowledge of energy flows in cogeneration plants and knowledge of Excel spreadsheet use. The Excel programme, or the Office package, preferably version XP, is also required.
