Uninterruptible Power at a Profit Harbec secured a natural gas contract with TXU that delivers fuel to the facility at an average cost of $6.85/MCF. At this rate, the value of the hot water recovered from the microturbines equates to over $0.03/kWh. Factoring in this recaptured heat value, electric power is generated for approximately $0.07/kWh, lower than the averaged local grid price of approximately $0.105/kWh. In the final analysis, total gas and electric utility bills are reduced 36 percent. At a capital cost of $1,100 per kW for the microturbine CHP hardware and Harbec’s effective utilization rate of over 5,000 operational hours per year, this equates to a payback period of less than two and one-half years. At the time of this writing, natural gas is available in many parts of the nation for $4/MCF. At that rate, the utility bill savings would be over 50 percent and payback on the hardware investment closer to two years. These calculations do not include the positive added value of outage cost avoidance. At Capstone’s Los Angeles-area headquarters, microturbine arrays undergo extensive pre-shipment testing. Why Capstone Makes Sense for Continuous Process Manufacturers Capstone’s 30-kW and 60-kW microturbines provide a continuous source of high-quality power with near-zero emissions and extremely minimal maintenance requirements. Coupling them with heat recovery systems to provide thermal energy for space and process heating, cooling and/or drying makes these systems extremely energy efficient. The economics of onsite power with heat recovery allow businesses to achieve an extremely reliable power supply. It’s a system whose energy economics create payback in three years or less in many parts of the country. In these times of volatile electricity prices, onsite generation enables companies to budget exactly what their electricity will cost. The systems that can do this are here today, creating a productive and positive working environment at businesses like Harbec Plastics.
