Summary
The Division of Power Systems of the Department of Energy has developed a project appraisal methodology (PAM) to guide the selection of projects involving applied research and development of new and advanced energy technologies. The methodology involves the numerical scoring of candidate projects for eight quantitative and qualitative criteria: energy savings, technical risk, cost, commercial potential, uniqueness, resource availability, environmental impact, and legal, social, and institutional effects. Criteria scores are weighted and summed for each project to produce an overall score. The results enable projects to be ranked according to their potential for achieving division goals. In application over two fiscal years, the methodology has proved its value by providing a rational and objective procedure for allocating the division's limited budgets.
