U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES In the past, hurricanes or power outages have pummeled a key United States government office with a laboratory that analyzes items to ensure national security. After years of design engineering, a new laboratory opened in 2009 in the Southern United States. Needing a power source more reliable than the local utility, and to gain greater control over energy costs, officials turned to Capstone Turbine for microturbine-produced on-site power for emergencies and to reduce peak demand from the utility. In early 2009, Capstone installed its UPSource, an independent, IT-grade power source that doesn’t rely on the electrical utility and eliminates the need for large banks of DC-storage batteries. UPSource is highly reliable. Even with the loss of a single microturbine, the Capstone installation remains a continuously running up-time solution with nearly eight 9’s of reliability for N + 1 configurations – better than those specified for most secure-data sites. The installation features a total of six Capstone C65 natural-gas fueled microturbines. Two microturbines run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in a redundant configuration. Four C65 units operate at the laboratory in various modes to ensure the site can support laboratory staff with HVAC system power, lighting and domestic power through an extended outage. Five of the six Capstone microturbines create a combined UPSource/dual-mode installation that provides onsite electricity and a steady supply of domestic hot water to the labs, as well as building heating requirements. Each unit produces 251,000 BTU/hr (74kW) of clean waste heat used to heat the hot water. Six Capstone C65 microturbines generate continuous power at this U.S. government office. U.S. GOVERNMENT Capstone microturbines are listed on the GSA Schedule: GS-07F-928IS.PDF Image | Capstone’s global presence
