A microturbine is a small, fuel flexible turbine, typically sized one megawatt and below, and can be best described as a jet engine in a filing cabinet sized box. Capstone offers our customers a variety of options, with the scalability of our systems, ranging from 30 kW to 10 MW and with our largest individual microturbine consisting of a 200 kW system. Since combustion is continuous, the microturbine has extremely low emissions. A recuperated cycle allows for highly efficient electricity production. Because they are fuel- flexible, microturbines can operate using liquid or gaseous fuels, including natural gas, biogas, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, propane and wellhead or flare gas. We have over 120 U.S. patents and continuously innovate our products. When combined with a heat recovery unit, our systems can provide CHP and can also be configured to provide combined cooling heat and power (CCHP), with efficiencies up to 90%. Microturbines are used by customers throughout the world in commercial, institutional and industrial applications such as offices, multi-unit residential buildings, hospitals, schools and universities, factories, hotels, data centers, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, farms and in hybrid electric vehicles. We have shipped over 6,500 Capstone microturbines to customers worldwide and currently export about half of our production. One of the benefits of CHP, and particularly Capstone’s technology is its resiliency, which was recently demonstrated during the intense powers of Superstorm Sandy. While the destruction was widespread and tragic, with more than 8 million utility customers losing power, there were some instances of buildings and facilities using Capstone and other CHP technologies to “keep the lights on” during those dark days. For example: • First, for critical services like hospitals, and senior living facilities the need for 24/7 reliable power, either from a base load or backup source is essential. Hospitals are a perfect application for combined heat and power due to consistent thermal and electric loads. Capstone is pleased to report that our installation at Christian Health 4PDF Image | For the House Energy and Commerce Energy and Power Subcommittee hearing:
