solution with nearly eight 9s of reliability for N+1 configurations – better than those specified for most secure-data sites. Each microturbine has only one moving part; no fluids mean fewer breakdowns. In addition, government officials can worry less about a fuel-source loss since natural gas – the microturbines’ primary fuel – is traditionally more available than utility electricity in a storm or wind- driven power-loss event. The installation at the laboratory features a total of six Capstone C65 natural gas-fueled microturbines. Two microturbines run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in a redundant configuration. Four other C65 units operate at the laboratory in various modes to ensure the site can support laboratory staff with HVAC system power, lighting, and domestic power through an extended outage. These four microturbines operate in parallel and synchronously to the local electric grid. The system can Needing a power source for the new laboratory more reliable than the local utility, and to gain greater control over energy costs, officials decided a change was needed and turned to Capstone. recognize a loss of stable utility power, immediately disconnect from the utility tie, then step back into a smaller and isolated set of critical loads. Five of the six Capstone microturbines create a combined UPSource/dual-mode installation that provides onsite electricity and a steady supply of domestic hot water to the labs, as well as building heating requirements. Each unit produces 251,000 BTU/hr (74kW) of clean waste heat used to heat the hot water. The ICHP microturbines eliminated the need for a secondary boiler system. In addition, without the use of any additional energy costs, the system can operate at efficiencies much greater than conventional UPS systems and diesel-generator back-up systems. As with all Capstone UPSource applications supplied in N+1 configurations, concerns of load coverage during service or single-module failures are greatly reduced. Capstone also offers IT System Application assistance for all UPSource applications. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2008 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
