When you are doing a financial analysis in Vind, you can either input your own cost numbers, or use our default values. We want you to be able to use our tool even without detailed project-specific data, and have therefore added some default costs.
🌳 This article describes the default onshore financial configuration. See this article for information about offshore default costs.
Default costs
All costs are either fetched from publicly available information, or through dialogue with third party consultancies.
Turbines: A default cost is fetched from source [1]. Foundation costs are not part of this default cost. If you want to model this, you can add an additional cost in the financial configuration.
Roads: Based on experience and rules of thumb from third party consultancies.
Inter-arrays cables: Downscaled from the default offshore costs and then confirmed by third parties as a reasonable default cost.
Substations: Based on experience and rules of thumb from third party consultancies.
Transmission lines: Based on experience and rules of thumb from third party consultancies.
