Broad Suite of Products

All Capstone Microturbines operate:

• Continuously or on-demand
• Stand alone or grid connect
• Individually or multi-pack
• Smart grid/micro-grid compatible
• Remote dispatch & diagnosis

All are multi-fuel capable:

• Low or high pressure natural gas
• Biogas (landfills, wastewater treatment, anaerobic

digesters)

• Associated flare gas
• Propane
• Diesel, Jet A or Kerosene

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

• Microturbine CHP provides clean
• nsite 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

Conventional vs. Onsite CHP

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)

Capstone and Industrial CHP

What a Capstone CHP installation means for gas providers:

• Increased burner tip sales

– 200-300%

• Meet and exceed gas quotas
• Allows gas companies to compete in the

electric business

What a Capstone CHP installation means for the end user:

• Increased power quality and reliability
• Lower operating expenses

– Natural gas is cheaper than grid power

• Capex recovered through energy savings

– 2-5 year payback is very realistic
