Energy Payback for Energy Systems Ensembles During Growth

During periods of growth, the energy payback performance of new energy generating technologies deviates substantially from the usual static measures of energy return on investment (EROI), and time to breakeven (tB) for single systems. Here we examine the performance of growing ensembles, develop new...
