【 摘 要 】

Analysis at NREL aims to increase the understanding of the current and future characteristics, roles, and interactions of government, markets, and technologies. The acquired understanding is used to inform technology, benefits, market, policy, and program decisions as energy efficient and renewable energy technologies advance from concept to commercial application. NREL's technology analysis evaluates the attributes of renewable energy technologies, examining RD&D areas in terms of potential costs, benefits, risks, uncertainties, and timeframes. The Lab's benefits analysis looks at the economic, environmental, security, and other impacts of current renewable energy programs. NREL's market analysis helps key players increase the use of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies in the marketplace through understanding of market responses. Through policy analysis, the Lab evaluates rules and regulations that can advance or provide alternatives to renewable energy technologies in meeting national goals. The Lab's program analysis conducts work that determines the goals of the Department of Energy's (DOE) budgeting, planning, and management functions.
