These methodologies will significantly decrease the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the final HKT design. The multi-disciplinary nature and challenges of HKT design requires expertise from a range of scientific and engineering fields working together concurrently. It has a low maintenance cost, resulting in a lower cost of energy.
