Description
Summary:Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === L), have developed methodologies to calculate the fully burdened cost of fuel as delivered energy in defense systems. Whereas these previous studies did not consider other energy sources such as batteries, this thesis contributes to the DoD area of knowledge in estimating life cycle costs of systems by developing a methodology to estimate the fully burdened cost of batteries.
