PAE Publishes Work on Modeling EERE Deployment Programs
January 31, 2008
The Planning, Analysis, and Evaluation (PAE) group at EERE worked with the Technology Development (TD) programs to identify and characterize the modeling of deployment programs within their programs, address possible improvements to the modeling process, and note gaps in knowledge in which future research is needed.
A presentation and report outlining the findings from the "Modeling EERE Deployment Programs" project are available on this Web site.
These documents include the key results from analyses that were completed for each of the identified tasks. The current deployment activities taking place in EERE are summarized, and a characterization of the EERE Deployment structure is provided. Current deployment-modeling efforts are also characterized with respect to each program, and the steps taken to incorporate a given program into an integrated framework are described. The gaps in knowledge regarding deployment modeling are discussed, and possible modeling strategies that may address some of these gaps are presented. Conclusions and recommendations for further, more-detailed modeling work also are included.
