CHAPTER 3 Capstone SYSTEM DESCRIPTION User Interface and Communications The microturbine end users have several methods at their disposal to configure and operate the C200 microturbine system. The system comes equipped with a wide array of digital input and output connections to facilitate full integration into any Building Management System, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based application. Options are available to communicate with the microturbine via RS-232 serial communications, telephone modem, or internet. The microturbine can be monitored, as well as commanded with optional interfaces. Fault codes are accessible over the various communication links to assist with remote troubleshooting. Exhaust Clean hot exhaust air can be used for process heating or cooling and can increase the overall efficiency of the system. This exhaust may be directed to an optional air to water heat exchanger. Alternately, the exhaust may be directed to customer provided devices, such as absorption chillers, which can generate cold water from the hot exhaust. Control System Components The C200 microturbine is controlled by multiple proprietary digital controllers that work in unison to deliver the required power for the user. The system runs in one of two primary operating modes. The first mode is called Grid Connect where the system will generate power at the level requested by the user and deliver it to the existing, active power grid in the user’s facility. The other mode of operation is Stand Alone. In Stand Alone, the microturbine is the sole source of electrical generation and generates the power necessary to support whatever load is connected to it as long as the load is below the maximum capacity of the generator. There are five primary independent digital controllers in the microturbine systems that are responsible for their own specific task. These are: Load Controller, located in the Load Control Module Generator Controller, located in the Generator Control Module Engine Controller, located in the Fuel Metering Module Two identical Battery Controllers, one in each Battery Control Module System Controller, located in the System Control Module. Connecting these controllers are a low voltage DC bus and a communication bus. Power and communication between these controllers flow over these bus connections as can be seen in Figure 3-2. Each of the major components has a Personality Module (PM) embedded in it. The PM is an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) device which is used to store operational parameters and user settings for each of these components. This allows the main operating software to identify, and adjust for the operation of, various machine configurations. These PMs can be read and programmed through the CRMS Software. Refer to the CRMS Technical Reference, Maintenance Edition (410014) for PM upload and download instructions. 410066 Rev C (June 2009) 3-3 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.PDF Image | CAPSTONE C200 MICROTURBINE TECHNICAL REFERENCE
