CAPSTONE TURBINE MARKET SEGMENTS Office Buildings & Large Retailers – ICHP systems significantly reduce NOx and CO2 emissions compared to traditional electrical and heat-energy sources. CCHP applications provide power, security, and economic benefits for large retailers. Hospitals – Onsite CHP is far more fuel efficient and environmentally beneficial than utility power and boiler heating, and can dramatically cut monthly power bills. Hotels & Universities – The usable exhaust heat from the Capstone microturbine can provide hot water, or drive an absorption chiller for air conditioning and heating. Digesters – Captured methane gas from digesters cleanly fuels Capstone microturbines. The microturbines create onsite power and thermal energy while reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. Transportation Products – Capstone’s C30 and C65 microturbines operate in conjunction with the onboard battery pack to provide continuous electrical power to transit buses, cars, trucks, yachts, and cargo ships. Landfills/Garbage Processing – Capstone microturbines provide the total solution: high-efficiency electrical and thermal power, ability to run on various landfill gases, and complete service coverage. Wastewater Treatment Plants – Capstone microturbines use methane gas created by anaerobic digesters to generate electricity and heat. Oil & Gas – Capstone offers both onshore and offshore platform solutions (UL-Certified Class I, Division 2 microturbines for hazardous locations), including options for land rigs, gas compression, and mining. U.S. Government – Capstone microturbines are listed on the GSA Schedule: GS-07F-928IS. Data Center & Telecom – Capstone’s Secure Power is the world’s first microturbine-powered UPS system that provides prime power for data centers and telecom sites. TECHNOLOGY AND CURRENT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Capstone plans to uprate its C200 unit to offer a new product – the C250 – that will produce an additional 50kW of clean power and raise fuel efficiency from 33 percent to 35 percent. The C250, developed through a cost-sharing program with the U.S. Department of Energy, will allow Capstone to manufacture its C1000 Power Package with four C250 microturbines rather than five C200s, and significantly limit component costs. Capstone also will offer a C1250 product comprised of five C250 microturbines. Additionally, Capstone intends to produce a C370 microturbine that combines a low-pressure C250 spool with a second spool – similar to an aircraft engine – that will allow a higher pressure ratio to produce greater efficiencies and power densities. In fact, efficiency of the C370 is projected to near 42 percent, one of the highest in the industry. Reliable power when and where you need it. Clean and simple.
