OQAPA - Flat Response

A decentralized energy network, particularly one that is based primarily on Renewable energy sources, tends to have a variable output, [either daily, weekly, monthly, or seasonally] which can make the energy conversion devices work in less-than optimum conditions for much of their operating lifetimes.
Having a device that can just as efficiently convert these micro-sources of variable output energy at any flow rate would be highly beneficial to achiving a decentralized energy system.
The Quasiturbine may be able to fulfill this role because of it's very "flat" output characteristics:

The output of a Quasiturbine is nearly directly proportional to the flow rate of the energy input
The efficiency of a Quasiturbine is nearly identical at any fluid flow rate
The efficiency does not drop off at "non-optimum" flow rates
