Like all other continuous process manufacturers, Harbec Plastics needs continuous power to protect production and prevent costly downtime. Assessing System Performance The Harbec system went into full operation during the summer of 2001, the season historically most plagued by power outages. The microturbine array provided full-time operating power to all facility loads, including the starting and stopping of several motors as large as 60 horsepower, while the exhaust heat fired the Carrier chiller, delivering a constant supply of dry chilledairtothefacility. Uninterrupted power has load-followed Harbec’s many processes and machines, eliminating power outage costs and downtime, enabling Harbec to meet its own and its customers’ demanding lead times. The Capstone MicroTurbines provided this power while emitting ultra-clean exhaust with less than 9 ppm NOx , a level less than half that per kWh emitted by generators of the local utility (according to EPA data). Maintenance on the systems is expected to be minimal: after a full year of constant operation, the only scheduled maintenance is an air filter change and a quick visual inspection of key system components. Dispatching, monitoring and diagnostics can be accomplished via Capstone RemoteTM, the company’s Windows-based software that operates via a single modem or direct connection through RS232 (serial) cable or TCP/IP (Internet). This is essentially a “set-it- and-forget-it” combined heat-power-drying-chilling system that needs no end-user involvement. To Bechtold and his staff of more than 100, there’s no before-and-after difference other than power certainty and lower energy costs. Anatomy of a Solution: A diagram of the system at Harbec Plastics. The built-in multipacking capabilities of Capstone MicroTurbines allow units to be taken down for maintenance while remaining units instantly and automatically pick up the displaced load. Up to 20 stand-alone units (unlimited number for grid-connected units) can be arrayed without the need for paralleling switchgear or other hardware beyond common computer cables. Up to 100 units can be multipacked via Capstone’s affordable PowerServerTM option. The “Green” Room: In keeping with the company’s practices, Harbec’s warehouse is designed for low environmental impact and high energy efficiency.PDF Image | Declaring Independence from Grid Power Uncertainties
