• Run Time Balancing – Each group can be set up to automatically turn microturbines on or off to equalize their total operating hours. • Dual Mode Control – When the system is set up for dual mode operation, the APS provides an interface to the Capstone Dual Mode Controller for less than 10 second fast transfer to stand alone operation in case of a utility outage. A minimum power demand can be set so that there is always enough capacity to pick up the critical load. • Dynamic Data Register Control – Because the APS is able to read data from external devices, such as a power meter or building management system, many of the control setpoints for the operating modes above can be dynamically changed based on current values that are written into the APS data registers. This brings remote control to a high level of system integration with flexibility to address changing system requirements. Balance of Plant Control & Monitoring The APS includes a built-in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The PLC provides a communications portal for the APS’ main computer, as well as I/O capability. The base system includes 16 discrete inputs and 7 discrete outputs (24Vdc), with two card slots available to add optional analog current, voltage, thermocouple, RTD, or additional discrete I/O capability. Capstone can write custom PLC software to meet your specific site needs, either for simple monitoring or automatic balance of plant control. Now you have one integrated control and monitoring point for all the equipment associated with your on-site microturbine power solution. Join the Capstone Service Network The APS becomes an integral part of the Capstone Service Network when the optional CSN Gateway is included and connected to the internet. This allows the microturbine and balance of plant data to be remotely monitored, and alarms automatically sent in case of out-of-limit conditions or faults. A secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is used to allow remote PC’s to access individual microturbines using Capstone Remote Monitoring Software (CRMS). The Capstone Service Network adds the benefits of continuous secure remote monitoring to increase system uptime, better schedule service, automatically record selected performance data, and optimize system operation. Local Communications – Modbus Master/Slave The APS can be set up to act as a Modbus master to read information using RS485 serial communications from external devices such as a power meter or protective relay. The data it reads from any Modbus slave device can be communicated remotely through the Capstone Service Network, and/or used to control the microturbines or balance of plant equipment. The APS has a second RS485 port that can be set up as a Modbus slave, and communicate under the control of a building management system. The building management system can request data from the APS, and write values into the APS database to provide dynamic control of the microturbines or any balance of plant equipment. These communications features make it easy to integrate your Capstone microturbine solution with related equipment, and provide an industry-standard interface to existing building management systems.PDF Image | PRODUCT DATA SHEET Advanced Power Server Main Features and Capabilities
