The TAGWeb™ (Technical Assessment Guide Web) software is an integrated, web-based software that provides current cost and performance data and technology trends for:
- Fossil technologies: pulverized coal, coal gasification / combined cycle, fluidized-bed combustion, and combustion turbine / combined cycle
- Nuclear technologies: central and small modular reactors
- Renewable energy in the form of wind, solar thermal, photovoltaic, geothermal, and biomass technologies
- Small-scale generation such as fuel cell, internal combustion engines, small combustion turbines less than 25 MW, and microturbines
- Storage technologies represented by compressed air energy, batteries, pumped hydro, flywheels, and superconducting magnetic energy technologies

Benefits and Values
The TAGWeb™ serves as a source for technology information and data that can be customized to individual company needs for input into simulation models for integrated resource plans, leading to selection of least-cost technology and fuel choice for the benefit of the public. Society may ultimately benefit from more informed decisions through this work with regard to increased capacity planning and implementation by utilities. EPRI’s Energy Systems and Climate Analysis group uses TAGWeb derived data for informing on public-domain technical analyses and assessments of energy technologies, energy-economic analyses, and potential for emissions reductions, including carbon dioxide (CO2).
