DSMRank: A model for screening and selecting demand-side management alternatives: User's guide, Version 2. 0
- Polydyne, Inc., San Mateo, CA (United States)
- Battelle, Columbus, OH (United States)
With EPRI support, a model was developed by Battelle-Columbus for screening and selecting demand-side management (DSM) technologies and implementation methods using numerical ratings and weighted scores. A review of this model and upgrade of its documentation was recently completed by Polydyne, Inc. This revised Users Guide reflects this new documentation. The model is implemented using a macro-driven Lotus{reg sign} spreadsheet template, DSMRank, which is documented in this report. DSMRank ranks and summarizes end-use technology options and implementation methods according to utility benefit/cost ratio, customer market benefits, and DSM program benefits. It extends the intuitive selection approach described in Demand-Side Management, Volume 2, Evaluation of Alternatives and Volume 3, Technology Alternatives and Market Implementation Methods (EA/EM-3597) by using numerical ratings in lieu of shaded circles in the overview and functional matrices. DSMRank stores the technology options and implementation methods in spreadsheet matrices and facilitates a computerized screening and selection of DSM options, including editing and printing of data and results.
