... the security benefits of energy savings or energy alternatives. S-1.eps These program attributes are in general critical components Recommendation 1: Panels should apply valuations in of the benefits package -- indeed, if a program can be justified monetary units to criteria air pollutant emissions in the simply on a market benefits basis, the rationale for govern- results matrix but not to other types of pollutant emissions.

... This included protection from the effects of disruptions to utility electric service. A unique structuring the decision trees, facilitating the assignment of benefit of distributed energy production technologies is to decentralize probabilities to technical and market outcomes, and providpower production and locate it at or close to loads, hence providing benefits ing guidance for and assistance in modeling benefits.

... A fourth scenario is invoked as the quality control process to several elements of the study needed to calculate benefits in a future state of the world process, including ensuring appropriate panel membership that would appeal to the unique performance characteristics and composition, orienting the panel chair and consultant, of the technology under consideration. Economic benefits monitoring the panel's progress, monitoring information are measured in dollars, environmental benefits in terms of received from DOE for adequacy and consistency, and re the physical quantities of avoided emissions, and security viewing and revising the process itself.
