B. EDL INPUT INSTRUCTIONS1. COMPONENT-COSTThis instruction is used to specify cost data for nonplant components(first cost, installation cost, annual cost, and cost of major and minor. overhauls). Nonplant components are here defined a everything except theprimary energy conversion equipment, such as boilers, chillers, dieselgenerators, gas turbines, storage tanks, etc. (see Chapter V). A nonplantcomponent can be anything from roof insulation, to an HVAC system, to a solarcollector system, to an entire buiding.Cost for up to 15 different nonplant components can be specified, using aseparate COMPONENT-COST instruction for each. The ECONOMICS program calculatesthe present value of the life-cycle costs for the components.The User Worksheet for the COMPONENT-COST instruction is shown on thenext page.COMPONENT-COSTU-nameUNIT-NA~JEThis command word informs the EDL processor that the data tofollow (and applicable default values) define the costs of aparticular non-plant component. All costs entered with thefollowing keywords should be in current dollars.is any unique user-defined name that may be entered toidentify this instruction, but none is required.is any word of sixteen or fewer characters, enclosed inasterisks, that describes the size or type of unit to whichthe unit costs subsequently specified are referenced, forexample, SQFT, TONS, LBS, FEET. This data entry is for userconvenience in identification of input data.NUMBER-OF-UNITS specifies the number of units of type or size described above(see keyword UNIT-NAME) that are to be costed. The programmultiplies the unit costs by this value to obtain the totalcost of the component. This data entry may be omitted if thecomponent specified is a single unit.FIRST-COSTINSTALL-COSTspecifies initial cost per unit, in dollars, excluding installation.specifies unit maintenance (labor) and consumables (materials)cost per year for the component. The differentiallabor inflation rate is applied to annual cost if entry ismade for keyword LABOR-INFLTN in the PLANTS-COSTS instructionin PDL.COMPONENT-LIFE specifies the component's useful 1 ife, in years. The programuses this value to calculate life-cycle replacementcosts. For example if COMPONENT-LIFE=n is specified.VI.6 (Revised 5/81)
