Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Grid Connect Operation – Capstone Models C30 and C60/C65 Select MultiPac Mode (option) Configure the MicroTurbine to operate in MultiPac mode to combine output power efficiently to external loads. Refer to the MultiPac Technical Reference (410032) for more details. • CRMS: From the menu, select Settings > MultiPac Settings, and set the MultiPac Enable setting to ENABLE. Configure the turbine number in the MultiPac system (Master = 1). • Display panel: Navigate as follows - System Data > System Configuration > MultiPac, and then select ENABLE. Select Fast Transfer Enable mode (option) Configure Fast Transfer mode for transition periods when the grid is returns to operation. Normal setting for Fast Transfer operation is Auto. If set to Manual and Auto Restart has been enabled, a manual Start operation must be performed by the user. The Reconnect Delay period determines the amount of time required to verify the grid is in good working condition. • CRMS: From the menu, select Settings > Control Settings, and set the GC Enable setting to either Auto or Manual. Select the Reconnect Delay time. • Display panel: Navigate as follows – Grid Connect menu, and then select the GC Enable mode option (Auto/Manual) and the GC Reconnect Delay option (). Stopping a Grid Connect System The normal process to stop MicroTurbine operation can be performed at any time. The process includes a cooldown cycle, which can last up to 10 minutes, depending on the operating temperature at shutdown. During this cycle, the power output is reduced and the fuel supply is shut off, but the MicroTurbine continues to rotate to dissipate excess heat. A restart can be attempted at any time during a cooldown period. In Grid Connect operation, an OFF command will override any dispatch mode settings, and is stored by the system. • CRMS: From the menu, click the red STOP button so that the button changes to START and appears green. • Display panel: Press and hold the INTERLOCK and STOP buttons simultaneously. If the MicroTurbine has been configured with a remote START/STOP switch, set the switch to STOP or OFF to stop the system. 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 action also 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, the 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. 410027 Rev F (February 2006) Page 6 of 23 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
