Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Stand Alone Operation – Capstone Model C30 and C60 Activating Stand Alone Power Output The system will transition to produce output power in the Load state (closes output contactor) when battery voltage and base battery state-of-charge reaches at least 60 percent. To enable Stand Alone power output: • CRMS: From the main panel, click on the Power ENABLE button. • Display panel: Press and hold the INTERLOCK and ENABLE buttons simultaneously. This signal may be automated with the Auto Load software feature. When the Auto Load dispatch mode is enabled, it automatically issues an Enable command when the system is ready to support the connected loads. De-activating Stand Alone Power Output The system can be commanded to manually deactivate output power (open output contactor) and return to the Run state where it will remain operating with fuel. To deactivate Stand Alone power output: • CRMS: From the main panel, click on the red DISABLE button. • Display panel: Press and hold the INTERLOCK and DISABLE buttons simultaneously. Once an output power disable command has been given, the system must be manually commanded to again deliver output power, even if the Auto Load software feature had been previously enabled. Stopping Stand Alone Operation The MicroTurbine immediately ceases supplying output power (output contactor opens) when a system STOP or OFF command is issued, or when a severity level 3 fault (other than a flameout) occurs. An explicit OFF command will override any dispatch mode settings, and is stored by the system. A system OFF first disables power output and transitions to the Recharge state. Then, the system continues operating with fuel to charge the battery to 90-95 percent state-of-charge, which can take up to 20 minutes. Finally, the MicroTurbine shutdown process initiates a cooldown period, which can last up to 10 minutes. To halt MicroTurbine operation: • CRMS: From the main panel, click on the red STOP button. • Display panel: Press and hold the INTERLOCK and STOP buttons simultaneously. Initiating an Emergency Stop WARNING Repeated use of the optional Emergency Stop switch will result in damage to the MicroTurbine. Use only in emergency situations. If an optional emergency stop (E-stop) has been installed, the E-stop switch may be activated. Activating E-stop immediately shuts off the fuel and electrical output. This causes the compressor bypass valve to open, venting the compressed air out of the MicroTurbine and causing it to coast to a stop. After an emergency stop, power to the MicroTurbine must be turned off for 30 seconds before a restart can be attempted. Emergency stops should NEVER be used for routine shutdowns. Emergency stops increase stress on the system components and will result in reduced service life of the MicroTurbine. 410028-001 Rev.
