Behavior of Capstone and Honeywell Microturbine Generators During Load Changes that the control system’s attempt to keep this temperature constant contributes to the slow approach to 0 kW in this test. Second Tests (October 25, 2000) During the second set of tests, there was some difficulty in running the turbine below 10 kW, so some of the lower power output results may not be accurate. Also, because of the problems at low power, several turbine shutdowns and start ups were recorded. The low-power problem was not observed during the earlier testing done in 1999 and described above. From the graphs of the MTG output (Appendix B), turbine ramping times were determined. These times are shown in Table 5 below. Table 5.

Because of normal variations in the output of the MTG and the way the power approaches the final set point, it is difficult to get a completely accurate timing for each change. An examination of the data from earlier tests done in 1999 shows that the response of the newer unit is somewhat slower than the 10PDF Image | Behavior of Capstone and Honeywell Microturbine Generators During Load Changes Consultant Report
