The analysis begins with an understanding of the basic engineering description of technology in terms of capacity, efficiency, constraints, and dependability. It continues in modeling the cash flow of a project, which is affected by the installed cost, the revenues or expenses avoided by using the technology, the operating expenses of the technology, available tax credits and rebates, and laws regarding depreciation and income tax. The feasibility study is completed by discounted cash flow analysis, using an appropriate discount rate and a proper accounting for inflation, to evaluate the financial viability of the project. The elements of this analysis are illustrated using numerous examples of solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, biogas digestion, energy storage, biofuels, and energy-efficient appliances and buildings.Environmental and social sustainability for business advantage collection.2327-3348Sustainable developmentManagementFeasibility studiesElectronic books.biofuelsbiogas digestionenergy efficiencyenergy storagefeasibility analysisfeasibility studyhydroelectric powerrenewable energyrenewable power systemssolar photovoltaicssolar thermal electric powersustainable technologieswind powerSustainable developmentManagement.Feasibility studies.628Herriott Scott R.883149MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463407703321Feasibility analysis for sustainable technologies1972789UNINA
