Abstract: An exemplary system for analyzing and modeling electric generators for a customer is provided. The system may include a database component and processor. The database operable to maintain data identifying a generator, a generator fuel cost projection, operating parameters, a customer load profile, and an electricity cost projection for a period of time. The processor operable to calculate a projected generation cost, and to compare the projected generation cost with the electricity cost projections to provide electricity to the customer through an electric grid. A method for modeling distributed generation is also provided. The method includes determining a projected customer electric cost to provide electricity to a customer from the electric grid and determining a projected generation cost for a generator to generate electricity for the customer for the period of time to meet the customer's projected load or electric load profile.
