A command line tool and Python package to calculate levelised cost of electricity
Calculate levelised cost of electricity on the command line with the lcoe
command:
$ lcoe 500000000 2000000000 25000000 0.07 20

Use the lcoe library in your Python code:
from lcoe.lcoe import lcoe
operating_cost = 25000000 #$million/year
capital_cost = 500000000 # $million
discount_rate = 0.07 # %
lifetime = 20
annual_output = 2000000000 # kWh
lcoe(annual_output, capital_cost, operating_cost, discount_rate, lifetime)
