Abstract

Renewable energy has become a major driver for the federal and state governments. Many have received funds from recently announced programs. However there have been challenges in determining the optimum portfolio of energy alternatives. Multiple perspectives were operationalized through a prior assessment by the Office of Technology Assessment. Through additional literature review, a model was created to consider all factors and perspectives to be considered in developing a portfolio of renewable energy technologies. A limited demonstration with goal programming and scenarios was included. The case of the state of Oregon was used to demonstrate the approach.
