Mid-Point Impact Indicator Results and DiscussionEnd-Point Damage Indicator Results and DiscussionSingle-Score Results and DiscussionAt the end-point indicator stage, the results of the mid-point indicators are aggregated to address three separate areas of protection, namely, ''human health'', ''ecosystems'' and ''resources'', details of which are illustrated in Table 4. The characterized results of three end-point impact indicators for all four solar plants are illustrated in Fig. 8....See more on link.springer U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
