V. Superior Gas Plants, Columbia Station, Ohio, USA Primary Contact: Mr. Dennis Moraski, Superior Gas Plants (425) 603-1075 Superior Gas Plants (Superior) develops products for the LP Gas industry. As part of a Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) funded project, Superior is demonstrating the viability of LP Gas to fuel a 30 kW Capstone microturbine for power generation. Partial funding is carried over from a previously PERC-funded project to develop LP Gas processing equipment for microturbines. As of late May 2002, the demonstration microturbine has run for over 430 hours of service. Superior plans to operate the microturbine over a 14-month period covering two winter seasons. The microturbine is installed in parallel to the local electrical grid. For eight hours per day, the microturbine supplies power to the building with excess power transferring to the grid. The site uses the grid protect relays built into the Capstone generator control system. Superior has a net metering contract with Ohio Edison. The contract gives Superior 10 cents per kW-hr credit for electricity. This compares to the 2 cents per hour that Ohio Edison would pay to directly buy electricity. Microturbine and Vaporiser Microturbine and Vaporiser This arrangement took around four (4) months to coordinate and to properly connect to the electric utility grid. Superior was the first Ohio Edison customer to be connected to their grid with distributed Vaporiser with pipe insulation power. LP Gas is stored in a 1,000-gallon tank on site. Superior is testing the system using it’s own design of water-glycol vaporiser6 which draws liquid fuel from the tank with a small pump. The system is reported to have performed reliably over its first four months of operation. Superior plans to demonstrate two other alternatives that may provide adequate gas pressure to the Capstone fuel system inlet. The devices include: (1) ExTA Flow Stabilizer unit; and (2) a heating blanket designed by Superior. 6 Same vaporiser as in IDD Case Study. 21PDF Image | Glotec Global Technology Network LP Gas Use in Microturbine Applications
