Grid Connect Operation in Load Following Dispatch Mode The Load Following mode is used in the following situations: 1) To reduce peak demand charges (where applicable), 2) When power draw from the utility grid is limited by supply equipment capacity, or 3) If installed microturbine capacity exceeds the minimum local load demand and net revenue metering is not allowed by the utility. Configuring Load Following mode requires a PC with CRMS software. The parameters that need to be configured using CRMS are as follows: Utility Power Setpoints adjust the allowable upper and lower utility power limits as controlled by the external power meter. Response Time sets the required time before the system responds with a new output command based on power meter signals. This acts as a filter to smooth out transients. Minimum Power Shutoff assigns an allowable power limit below the Utility Power Setpoint (based on kW demand) that the microturbine will operate before shutting down. Minimum Power Start-Up assigns a minimum power limit for the turbine to turn on (based on kW demand) if the system load exceeds the Utility Power Setpoint. This parameter is intended to maximize system efficiency by allowing the utility grid to continue operation instead of the microturbine at lower power levels. Together with the Minimum Power Shutoff, this setting provides a deadband to avoid frequent start-ups and shutdowns of the microturbine. Meter Constant specifies the number of watt-hours represented by a single pulse signal from the external power meter. Refer to the CRMS Technical Reference User’s Edition (410013) for how to configure these settings. 410066 Rev C (June 2009) 4-13 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. kWPDF Image | CAPSTONE C200 MICROTURBINE TECHNICAL REFERENCE
