A Ranking Method: The Top Integrated Energy Generation/StorageTechnologies (Building and Community Scales)

Analysis of the best performing technologies will be conducted relative to the areas of buildingintegrated energy generation and storage of such energy at the building/community scale.Relevant product and other technological literature will be collected and various areas of performancewill be used for comparison. Such metrics of performance for generation/harvesting technology willinclude (but may not be limited to) conversion efficiency from the energy source to usable energy, costof installation and useful operating life span. Metrics of performance for storage technology will include(but may not be limited to) total energy storage capacity, losses and other factors (such as durability)affecting storage efficiency, cost of installation and useful operating life span. Limiting factors such asinstallation requirements and building code requirements will also be explored.This will provide S2E with a useful resource for implementing such technologies into Project SmartCommunity and other future projects while also providing a framework for a database of products.
