• Material and manufacturing cost considerations for thermoelectrics (2014, background): “The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is often used to compare the value of different energy generating technologies; a lower LCOE value corresponds to a lower cost to generate electricity [70].”
• Levelized cost of electricity for solar photovoltaic and electrical energy storage (2017, background): “One of the misconceptions when calculating LCOE is that the summation does not start from t = 0 to include the project cost at the beginning of the first year [16].”
• Coal-Biomass Co-Firing Power Generation Technology: Current Status, Challenges and Policy Implications (2020, methodology): “Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) is generally considered as a convenient and simple method to measure the comprehensive competitiveness of different generation technologies [44–46].”
• Levelized cost of electricity for solar photovoltaic, battery and cogen hybrid systems (2016, methodology): “High exergy electricity from PV is not only reliable, safe and sustainable [8-11], but now it has become an economical way of providing global society's energy needs as well [12-13].”
