4. Cost Evaluation Assumptions •Water production: 10,000 t/d (30,000 – 40,000 people as domestic water use) •Annual Irradiation: DNI(*1) 2,500 kWh/m2, GHI (*2) 2,200 kWh/m2 •Plant availability: 90% •Operation period: 20 years •Inflation rate: 2.0% •Cost index: Based on year 2010 •Overnight investment •All the utilities except for sea water are self-sufficient •Costs of TE modules are estimated as mass–produced items. (*1)DNI: Direct normal irradiation (*2)GHI: Global horizontal irradiation

Estimation of Water Production Cost [$/ton]
Most of operating cost is for the steam turbine cycle.
1.4 1.2 1 Operating Cost
0.8
About half of capital cost is for the electricity storage.
