3.0 Manufacturing Standards: “The Box” As noted in Chapter 2, voluntary consensus standards are developed by a variety of organizationsjeanThese standards then may be referenced by model codes and adopted by state or local government organizationsjeanIEEE, ASME, ASTM, and NEMA are particularly active developers of consensus standardsjeanAlthough no manufacturing standards currently exist for microturbine generator sets as a complete, separate product, several standards from these organizations are relevant to the components of microturbines. Underwriters Laboratories has worked with microturbine developers to list their product as an alternative to UL 2200, Engine-Driven Generator SetsjeanBeyond this, options currently available to the microturbine community include: C request for revisions or additions to UL 2200, providing design specifications for microturbines C development of a manufacturing or design standard specifically for microturbines by one of the standards-developing organizations mentioned earlier C third-party testing and certification (see chapter 6), which may be acceptable to many code authorities. The microturbine industry is not the first among DG developers to address code issues for technologically advanced onsite generation. The U.S. fuel cell industry has successfully developed a consensus standard, ANSI Z21.83, Fuel Cell Power Plants, which evaluates the construction safety and performance safety of a fuel cell power plant using natural gas or liquified petroleum (LP) gasjeanIn addition, fuel cell installations now are referenced in the National Fire Code. PTC 50, Fuel Cell Power Systems Performance, contains methods and procedures for conducting and reporting fuel cell system testing, instrumentation to be used, testing techniques, and methods for calculating and reporting results. 3.1 ASME/ANSI B133, Gas Turbine Procurement This suite of standards deal with procurement standards for gas turbines in industrial marine and stationary power applications. They are not currently considered applicable to microturbines. 3.2 UL 2200, Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies This is the standard currently used by third-party testing organizations to list microturbines, although it is not an ASME- or IEEE-equivalent manufacturing or performance standard. It deals almost 3.1PDF Image | PNNL 13277
