Mi c r o t u r b i n e A p p l i c a t i o n s Possible applications Microturbines offer opportunities for a variety of customers and applications in the residential, commercial and industrial sector. They can have several potential applications, such as: • Continuous generation (>6000 hrs operation/year)- to succeed microturbines will have to be able to generate electricity at costs competitive with grid connected power; • Peak power (< 1000 hrs operation/year) for peak shaving: users can run on- site units to avoid paying high prices caused by peaks; • Backup power (less than 100 hrs/year)- factors influencing microturbines application are their costs compared to diesel generator sets, their ability to start up rapidly, their reliability and the low expected operation and maintenance costs; • Premium power where the process requires power with a higher quality (availability, constant voltage and frequency, no voltage dips, no harmonic distorsions) than provided from grid to avoid damages to machines, loss of data, loss of production; • Remote power for far off grid applications; • Co-/Trigeneration systems for applications requiring thermal energy (heating and/or cooling) as well as electric power need for development of distributed generation. Mi c r o t u r b i n e a p p l i c a t i o n s i n t h e c o m m e r c i a l / r e s i d e n t i a l s e c t o r A large market share in the microturbines market is currently occupied by the commercial/residential sector. The main reasons are that a large number of this kind of locations have suitable heat and electricity demand profiles, the gap between cost for electricity and gas is larger than in the industrial sector and there is a lower demand for return of investment than in the industrial area. The major market potential in the commercial and residential sector is traditional CHP (combined heat and power) applications. Fig. 4: Residential CHP- Turbec T100 (by courtesy of Turbec) Some of the most important markets are expected to be hospitals, hotels, apartments or clusters of houses, residential homes, office buildings, schools, sport centres, supermarkets, swimming pools and sewage treatment plants. District heating, using microturbines adopted in clusters, could be an attractive market, too.
