Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

In March 2018, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Nexant released a significant upgrade of the Interruption Cost Estimate (ICE) Calculator. While most of the improvements involved a modernization of the user interface, there are two notable modifications to the underlying econometric models. LBNL and Nexant documented the original models and customer interruption cost meta-analysis in a 2009 report. They subsequently revised the meta-analysis and econometric models for the ICE Calculator in 2015, as documented in an updated report. The models for the current version of the ICE Calculator are based on two additional modifications summarized in this update.
