Abstract
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has planned or in progress several large fossil fuel demonstration projects intended to bridge the gap between the research laboratory and commercial feasibility. Because there is developmental risk associated with plant integration and with system scale-up and because both private and public funds support the technical and managerial development, the management and administration of the demonstration projects is complex. There is, therefore, a need for a suitable cost and schedule control system to assist in the planning, monitoring, and operational control of the ongoing development projects. To assist DOE in selecting the optimal cost and schedule control system for application to fossil fuel demonstration projects, Tetra Tech, Inc., and CTEC, Inc., examined several system alternatives. This report presents the results of the comparative analysis of the alternatives and provides recommendations to improve DOE's visibility and appropriate needed control over contract costs and schedules. 9 refs., 2 tabs.
