Turbine size is a key factor. A size effect can easily be detected in the 100-kW<br />

turbine class. In the MW class, no clear trend exists due to, among other<br />

factors, the higher development costs for new and better turbines that can<br />

yield higher electrical output in specific applications (see Figure 54).<br />
