Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine User’s Manual Sleep Mode Capstone During the Sleep mode, the battery pack should be at a higher state of charge since it is called upon to start the MicroTurbine and produce transient power immediately after start-up. This reduces the recharge intervals for Sleep state. Recharge intervals for battery packs in Sleep mode are dependent upon the ambient temperatures as specified below. Recharge intervals do not apply to the C60 JUCB battery in the following table: Ambient Temperature °C (°F) Recharge Interval - Days Model C30 Model C60 <20 °C (68 °F) 15 35 20°C(68°F)to30°C(86°F) 15 22 30°C(86°F)to40°C(104°F) 8 15 40°C(104°F)to50°C(122°F) 4 10 50°C(122°F)to60°C(140°F) 2 7 When the recommended recharge interval is reached, the battery pack voltage should be recorded, and the battery pack must be recharged. If the MicroTurbine is in operation, a Manual Recharge or a Shutdown Recharge will be sufficient to recharge the battery pack. Refer to the section on Stand Alone operation and the Display Manual Battery Management Menu for more data. If the MicroTurbine cannot be operated, the optional Capstone External Battery Charger can be used to recharge the battery pack. Contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider for details on the Capstone External Battery Charger. Battery Charge Management The MicroTurbine system is designed to keep the battery approximately 80% charged during operation. This allows for sourcing and sinking of power transients in Stand Alone Mode. After an OFF command the system will recharge the battery to 90% before shutting down. This recharge can take up to 20 minutes. During normal use, battery cells become charged unequally. Periodically, the MicroTurbine will perform an equalization charge cycle to keep the battery in top condition. Allowable times (in 4-hour minimum windows) must be programmed for when this can occur. Refer to the Battery Management menu in the Display Panel section. Page 46 of 56 400001-001 Rev. C (February 2005) This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.

NOTES 1. A Grid Connect Idle Recharge or the Capstone External Battery Charger option may be used to perform the recharge as required. The battery voltage must be greater than 175 VDC on the C30 and greater than 180 VDC on the C60 to perform a Grid Connect Idle Recharge. 2. If the MicroTurbine is in Sleep or Standby mode, there is also a parasitic load that will greatly reduce the allowable storage time.PDF Image | 2002 Capstone User Guide
