Capstone Turbine Corporation Model C30 User’s Manual 3.3.12. Stopping a Stand Alone System The microturbine system can be stopped at any time. To stop the system from the Display Panel, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the STOP button. (If your microturbine has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to Stop or Off to stop the system.) A system OFF command first disables power output. The system then charges the battery, which can take up to 20 minutes. Finally, the turbine shutdown process includes a cool down period, which can last up to 10 minutes. 3.4. Dual Mode Operation If the microturbine is equipped with the Stand Alone option, and the optional Dual Mode System Controller (DMSC) is installed, a setting in the microturbine system software enables the system to reconfigure itself to either Grid Connect or Stand Alone operation mode. This is called Dual Mode. In the case of grid loss/recovery, microturbine operation in Dual Mode is identical to the operation in Grid Connect mode or Stand Alone mode, depending on the state of the utility grid. Operation of the Dual Mode feature consists of switching the microturbine (and protected loads) from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation, or back. NOTE: Note that both the Grid Connect and Stand Alone interlock terminals must be closed for Dual Mode operation. 3.4.1. Capstone DMSC The Capstone DMSC is an accessory that enables the microturbine to automatically transition from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation when a utility power outage occurs. During a utility power outage, the microturbine normally operates in Stand Alone mode to provide power to Protected Loads. The DMSC provides the logic for an electrically- operated circuit protection device to isolate the protected loads during Stand Alone operation. When utility power is restored, the DMSC automatically returns the microturbine and protected loads to Grid Connect operation. The DMSC also allows the microturbine to be used as an automatically dispatched standby generator for protected loads. The Dual Mode Controller can: • Sense the loss of electric utility grid voltage, and then send a trip signal to a circuit protection device to disconnect the microturbine and its connected (protected) loads from the electric utility grid. • Start the system to supply Stand Alone power. • Sense the return of electric utility grid voltage, and then shut down the microturbine. • Issue a command to close the circuit protection device to reconnect the MT and protected loads to the electric utility grid. • Start the system to supply electric utility grid parallel power. The microturbine can be configured to automatically start and load itself in either mode. 400031 Rev A (April 2012) Page 29 of 80 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 MicroTurbine Model C30 User's Manual
