Figure 5
Three graphs compare technology types by cost vs. benefit, NPV vs. profitability index, and discounted payback.The image contains three separate graphs comparing different technology types. The first graph on the left is a bar chart titled 'Cost vs. Benefit by Technology Type.' It compares the unit cost and annual benefit for three technology types: Active, Semi-Passive, and Passive. The unit costs are $2310 for Active, $578 for Semi-Passive, and $231 for Passive. The annual benefits are $1380 for Active, $414 for Semi-Passive, and $166 for Passive. The second graph in the center is a combination of a bar chart and a line graph titled 'NPV vs. Profitability Index.' It shows the Net Present Value (NPV) in millions of dollars and the Profitability Index for three technology types. The NPVs are $1660 million for Active, $830 million for Semi-Passive, and $346 million for Passive. The Profitability Index values are 1.72 for Active, 2.44 for Semi-Passive, and 2.50 for Passive. The third graph on the right is a bar chart titled 'Discounted Payback by Technology.' All values are approximated.
