13.2.8 Feed-in Tariff<br />
Unlike the other database files, the Feed-in Tariff can be selected and defined in both the<br />
Conditions > Tariffs menu dialog and in the Economic Efficiency Calculation... dialog.<br />
However, you can also define the Feed-in Tariff via the Databases menu in the main menu<br />
bar.<br />
A reference describing the data record can be entered in the upper text field.<br />
Period of Validity for Tariff<br />
For the first years, the Feed-in Tariff is usually set at a higher rate. Thus you can take<br />
account of any subsidised electricity provided for a set period, following which the legally<br />
set minimum rate is paid.<br />
Feed-in Tariff after … Years<br />
Here you are able to define a different Feed-in Tariff which is received following the initial<br />
period.<br />
Number of Power Levels<br />
Here you can set the number of Power Levels required to define the different Feed-in<br />
Tariffs.<br />
Tariff Zones/Graduated Tariff Rates<br />
The method used for calculating the resulting Payment Received for Grid Supply varies<br />
according to the selection of either Tariff Zones or Graduated Tariff Rates. If Tariff Zones<br />
is selected, the result is an almost constant change in the payment, whereas the selection<br />
of Graduated Tariff Rates produces a jump from one payment rate to the next when the<br />
defined Power Level is reached.<br />
Tariff Zones:<br />
A mean Feed-in Tariff for all Power Levels up to the Installed PV Power is<br />
calculated. For example:<br />
0-30 kW - €1<br />
From 30 kW - €0,50<br />
A system size of 50 kW therefore produces a Payment Received for Grid Supply of<br />
30/50*€1 + 20/50*€0,50 = €0,80.per kWh.<br />
Graduated Tariff Rates:<br />
In this case the Feed-in Tariff is calculated direct from the Installed Power. Using the<br />
above example, this would result in a Payment Received for Grid Supply of €0.50 per<br />
kWh on all electricity supplied.<br />
Payment Received for Grid Supply – High Tariff/Low Tariff different<br />
If this option is selected, an additional field appears in which you can enter the Feed-in<br />
Tariff at two different rates: a High Tariff and a Low Tariff.<br />
