Demonstration: ashowing of the merits of a
product or service to a
prospective consumerFull-time research at small unit or slip-stream
Gather results for commercial projects
Utility host and vendors are main funders
DOE & EPRI funding necessary
Commercial: suitable,adequate, or prepared for
[normal] commerce
Small full-scale plant
Proof-of-performance research; guarantees
Host utility funded
DOE & EPRI funding possible
Research:studious inquiry
or examination
First step in process
Many ideas, many failures
Utilities usually not funding orinvolved
Typically university andnational lab work
Development: toexpand by a process of
growthMove from lab to practical testing
Only successful ideas from smaller scaleUtilities get involved
Host utility + DOE & EPRI funding
