Distributed Generation Analysis Tool Introduced

Posted: January 10, 2002

The Distributed Generation Analysis Tool Version 1.0 is now available. With this software, users are able to conduct a 20-year lifecycle cost analysis and assess the environmental impacts of distributed generation technologies. The software is easy to use, requiring some knowledge of utility rates and the characteristics of specific DG units. Users input required data and the tool analyzes and generates emissions and operating summaries and financial analyses. 

Included in the software are five specific scenarios intended to provide a reference and breadth of evaluation alternatives for users and to provide a starting point for testing and assessing the functionality of the software. This useful tool was developed by the Science Applications International Corporation with assistance from NASEO and support from the U.S. Department of Energy. See below for download options.
