Preparing a presentation I came across contradictory information about Variable O&M costs of Various Power plants (Costs of Nuclear, Gas Turbine, Combined cycle, Steam turbine (Coal) and diesel power plants were compared). The variable cost for CC Power plant is 3.8 US$/MWh in accordance of one source and 1.41 US$MW/h in another. Can anybody help me with updated data of the costs?

There is an excellent article in Marine Engineering by Harrington (Ed.) available from SNAME (society of naval architects and marine engineers).
Costs vary a lot!!! specially with location... the average US operator makes about 30 times more than the nigerian operator.
Perhaps you could be more specific.

Check out www.sfapacific.com , they have some good power cost data. Also the DOE supports lots of research on alternative sources of power.
