| Abstract | The hydropower projects are needed relatively large amount of investment relative to most of the other projects in construction industry. Thus, the decision making on selecting the technologies using in the hydropower plants are needed to analyzed well because of the costs incurred in the whole life of the plant come from the decisions made before starting construction and operation of the plant. Life cycle cost analysis is worth to be conducted as it can give the results not only on the initial costs but also on the costs in the whole life of the studied assets. In this study, the objective is set to conduct the life cycle cost analysis for the hydropower plants which are installed different types of turbines. The life cycle cost analysis for each type of plant is carried out and the results are shown as per capacity and per energy generated of the plant. The main components of the inputs, which are historical data from hydropower plants, are gathered from the representative agencies. The comparisons of the results of the analysis are performed to select the most cost-effective technology for the hydropower plants in long term basis. As the results of the analysis, it is found that Francis turbine hydropower plant is more cost effective over than other types. |
