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. 410 0$aEnvironmental and social sustainability for business advantage collection.$x2327-3348 606 $aSustainable development$xManagement 606 $aFeasibility studies 610 $abiofuels 610 $abiogas digestion 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aenergy storage 610 $afeasibility analysis 610 $afeasibility study 610 $ahydroelectric power 610 $arenewable energy 610 $arenewable power systems 610 $asolar photovoltaics 610 $asolar thermal electric power 610 $asustainable technologies 610 $awind power 615 0$aSustainable development$xManagement. 615 0$aFeasibility studies. 676 $a628 700 $aHerriott$b Scott R.$01660066 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823030703321 996 $aFeasibility analysis for sustainable technologies$94015055 997 $aUNINA
