  1. Major release

    New turbine cost model: cost ranges, confidence labels, real-plant data

    Turbine cost estimates for Pelton, Francis and Kaplan have been rebuilt from seven published sources and validated on 156 real plants. Every estimate now shows a cost range, a confidence label (calibrated, blended, extrapolated) and its source. Kaplan configuration (full, semi-Kaplan, propeller) is now priced separately. Estimates are typically higher than before and are not comparable with reports generated before this update. Read how the new model works → Have real cost data? Share it and earn credits →
