Research & Development.

ANTARES advises DOE in planning R&D activities and setting R&D objectives for renewable power technologies and biomass resource development. ANTARES has prepared analyses supporting DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) efforts to meet requirements under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). ANTARES advises DOE and EPA on industry trends, market dynamics, technology innovations and many other factors that affect the success of the R&D programs. ANTARES also works with the National Laboratories to improve model development efforts in order to aid in R&D planning and strategy development.

Through a survey/statistical technique called conjoint analysis, ANTARES has developed a market share of preference simulation model that enables R&D planners to understand how various R&D successes would influence consumer acceptance of distributed generation technologies.
