<p>A tool for determining the feasibility of adding distributed resources to an existing facility by determining the cost/benefit ratio of using distributed resources for a particular project. The tool is integrated with database engines for processing data acquired from utilities rate tables (116), location defaults (118), distributed resources cost models (120) and distributed resources manufacture data (122). Fuel prices and electrical thermal energy prices and trades may be received from on-line sources or may be calculated based on projections of historical data (124). Artificial intelligence agents may recommend adjustments to project constraints and generate optimal distributed resources technology mix and use. Alternately, if historical data is provided, probabilistic techniques may generate a plurality of possible solutions. After a user confirms a desired solution, comprehensive reports and graphs (134), cost and financial solutions (140) may be provided.</p> |
