that are cleaner and more reliable, fuel efficient, fuel flexible, and affordable than existing equipment. The second subprogram concentrates on the development of technologies, tools, and techniques to enable prospective users of distributed energy systems -- regardless of the type of technology -- to evaluate benefits, install, operate, control, and maintain those systems in an optimized manner to meet the needs of their facilities and business operations and those of the electric power and natural gas utilities to which the systems are interconnected.
