Capstone Turbine Corporation • Founded 1988 − Commercial launch in 1998 • World leader in Microturbines • Headquarters and manufacturing plants in California • Sales and/or service centers in United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Mexico, South America and China. • Over 85 Distribution Partners • Over 8500+ units shipped worldwide • Over 120 Technology Patents
Broad Suite of Products All Capstone Microturbines operate: All are multi-fuel capable: • • Continuously or on-demand Low or high pressure natural gas • • Stand alone or grid connect Biogas (landfills, wastewater treatment, anaerobic digesters) • Individually or multi-pack • Associated flare gas • Smart grid/micro-grid compatible • Propane • Remote dispatch & diagnosis • Diesel, Jet A or Kerosene
Typical Recuperated Cycle
Capstone Air Bearings Benefits • Maintenance Free • No Oil Consumption or Disposal • Clean Exhaust Emissions Under spring Aerofoil Shaft Shaft Foil Foil Spring Spring
Exhaust Outlet Capstone C200 Microturbine Combustor • Simple system: only one moving part Air Intake • No liquid oils or coolants Generator Compressor Turbine Recuperator
Power Electronics UL 1741, UL 2200 • Makes grid interconnect easy, safe • Includes protective relays and sync gear – easily integrates with other technologies • Provide UPS quality power
Three Operating Modes Grid Connect – Microturbine is a current source • Automatically synchronizes to a live utility grid • 480 VAC @ 60 Hz or 400 VAC @ 50 Hz • Can be configured for Time of Use and Load Following Stand Alone – “Island Mode” Microturbine is voltage source • Equipped with on-board battery system for “black start” • Provides user-configured voltage and frequency to grid-isolated loads • Soft Start Function Available for Large Dedicated Motor Dual Mode • Functions in Grid Connect when the grid is available, switches to Stand Alone when the grid goes offline
CHP Combined Heat and Power
Conventional vs. Onsite CHP • Microturbine CHP provides clean onsite generation of both electricity and heat energy • CHP efficiencies ≥ 80% easily attainable • Increase gas sales • Cost of upgrades by customer can be recuperated through energy savings
CHP Candidates “ Typical ” candidates are: – Hotels (24/7 need for hot water and possible cold water for cooling in the summer) – Hospitals (24/7 need for hot water, cooling and/or steam) – Manufacturers (24/7 need for hot water, cooling and/or steam) – Large office spaces (use hot/cold water for heating/cooling) – Schools/Universities (use hot/cold water for heating/cooling) – Data Centers (use cold water for cooling) Clean Usable Waste Heat Out Power Out Fuel In
Capstone and Industrial CHP What a Capstone CHP installation What a Capstone CHP installation means for the end user: means for gas providers: • Increased power quality and reliability • Increased burner tip sales • Lower operating expenses – 200-300% – Natural gas is cheaper than grid power • Meet and exceed gas quotas • Capex recovered through energy savings • – Allows gas companies to compete in the 2-5 year payback is very realistic electric business
