Compared to alternative energy sources
Difgen is the providing superior return on invested capital compared to other alternative energies.
Difgen scores higher than other alternative energy investments on all important parameters. The key factor is always the cost of energy. Levelized cost of Energy (LCOE) is a commonly used method for comparing different energy sources including investment cost, operational cost, equipment detoriation, spare part replacement, capacity utilization and more. For more details on LCOE please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCOE
The key factors influencing the power produced and thereby the LCOE is pressure and flow which will vary from site to site.On a typical installation the LCOE will be about 50 USD/MWh. This is comparable to power from nuclear and coal and cheaper than power from wind and gas.
Large organisations like the International Energy Agency (IEA) frequently calculate and publish information on LCOE from larger energy sources. The 2010 information is available on this link: http://www.iea.org/Textbase/npsum/ElecCost2010SUM.pdf
