1350 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS MANHATTAN, NEW YORK On the 16th level of the 1350 Avenue of the Americas building in Manhattan there are 12 Capstone C65 ICHP units that create a mini power plant for the 35-story building. Together, the microturbines generate 780kW of clean and secure electricity – about 35 percent of the building’s day-to-day electricity needs – regardless of the status of the aging electric grid surrounding it. The power plant of Capstone microturbines is owned and operated by OfficePower Inc., a Connecticut-based company that offers multitenant office building owners an option that once was impossible: Energy independence and financial competitiveness. The High Pressure, Dual Model Capstone microturbines provide thermal energy that carry up to 80 percent of the building’s heating load during colder months. A Capstone Heat Recovery Module sits on top of each microturbine, capturing exhaust heat energy normally unused and sent into the atmosphere. Beginning operation in August 2006, the Capstone installation has experienced 99.4 percent availability – an almost unheard of figure for a distributed generation system. “Our economic business model aside, this is also about what we’re bringing to the market by relieving the grid of some of its problems and how that, in turn, benefits the environment,” said Joel Wilson, CEO of OfficePower. “If we’re twice as efficient as the grid, then we cut in half the CO2 footprint of buildings on the grid. We partnered with Capstone because they share our vision of an energy option that not only serves building owners, but also is environmentally responsible.” Twelve Capstone microturbines provide electricity and heat for this 35-story office tower in Manhattan. OFFICE BUILDINGS Capstone integrated combined heat and power (ICHP) systems significantly reduce NOx and CO2 emissions compared to traditional electrical and heat-energy sources.PDF Image | Capstone’s global presence
