About The Book

Miguel de Simón-Martín’s Levelized Cost of Energy Calculation for Energy Communities delivers a concise yet comprehensive examination of one of the most critical metrics in energy economics: the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). This book bridges theoretical analysis with practical application, offering a systematic approach to calculating LCOE, particularly within the context of energy communities.

Structured into four clear chapters, the book begins with the fundamentals of power system configurations and progresses to advanced concepts such as aggregated system LCOE, its role in electricity markets, and implications for energy policy. Real-world relevance is enhanced through three detailed case studies, which include multiple examples of energy generation and storage systems.

This title is particularly valuable for researchers, policymakers, students, and professionals in the fields of energy economics, power systems, and sustainable energy policy, providing them with a practical tool to assess the economic viability and policy impact of renewable energy projects.
