Matthew Harrington, Maggie Schauer · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1987
The report serves as a user's manual and documentation for the Utility Cost-Analysis Model (UCAM), a computer model that calculates the lifetime revenues required by a utility making a discrete investment or series of investments. The model is written in FORTRAN and is designed to run on both a mainframe or an IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible machine with a math micro-coprocessor chip. The model will perform a series of accounting calculations and determine the year-by-year revenues that the utility must receive from its ratepayers in order to achieve full cost recovery. In addition to the year-by-year revenues, lifetime revenues, and discounted present-value revenues are also calculated.
