Abstract: In last decades, more and more complex models have been developed to investigate hybrid energy systems in order to define optimal size and management strategies. However, the results accuracy of these analyses is strictly related to the accuracy not only of the models but also of the input data, among which one of the most important is a proper assessment of investment costs.
