Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Grid Connect Operation – Capstone Models C30 and C60/C65 Load Following Load Following mode utilizes MicroTurbine power in excess of the base power supplied by the utility grid (when required by external loads), allowing the MicroTurbine to track local electrical loads, and supplying only as much power as is required. The MicroTurbine regulates the utility power flow to an adjustable maximum - the utility power setpoint. If the local demand rises above this level by an adjustable amount for a selected time period, the MicroTurbine is dispatched to supply the difference (up to its capacity). As the MicroTurbine power output varies, supplying up to 30 kW of power above the utility power setpoint (100 kW), as required by the current load demand. Figure 6 illustrates how a MicroTurbine may be utilized in Load Following mode. NOTE Load Following requires an external power meter. The power meter is not supplied with the MicroTurbine and must be connected between the MicroTurbine and the electric service entrance. See “External Power Meter Installation” section regarding meter requirements. 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 3 6 9 12 15 1 21 24 Time of Day (24 hours) MicroTurbine Utility Figure 6.
