Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA User’s Manual: Advanced Power Server (APS) Model 145 User's Manual 2.3.1. Monitoring and Control Levels Figure 8 shows the drop-down list (see Figure 7 for location) used to select the groups or individual turbines in the MultiPac. The values that the APS displays and what controls are available vary depending on which group or turbine has been selected. For example, if turbine T2 is selected, values related to that individual turbine are displayed. Group Turbines 2.3.1.1 Group and Turbine Relationship In the monitoring/control hierarchy, the MultiPac master (MP MASTER) contains groups, and each group contains turbines, as shown in Figure 8. A group is a virtual entity that is a logical grouping of turbines, and the APS controls each group as though it were a single virtual turbine having its own power capacity and dispatch mode. A MultiPac includes a fixed number of physical turbines, but each of these turbines must be logically organized in groups in order to be controlled by the APS. To modify the group configurations, it is necessary to use CRMS-APS. Refer to the APS-145 Technical Reference (Table 1) for information about modifying turbine groups. The groups are identified as G1 through G6 and are defined according to operating mode, which is either Stand Alone or Grid Connect. Turbines that operate in Stand Alone mode are assigned to group G1, and turbines that operate in Grid Connect mode are assigned to groups G2 through G6. Since group G1 is the only group defined for Stand Alone mode, it contains all physical turbines that operate in Stand Alone mode. Grid Connect mode employs five groups (G2 through G6) because of the flexibility required for the range of power dispatch modes when connected to a utility grid. A group can include from zero to any amount up to the maximum number of turbines in the MultiPac. It is possible for a group to have zero turbines if none of the turbines in the MultiPac function according to the definition of that group. For example, if all the turbines in the MultiPac operate in Grid Connect mode only, the Stand Alone group will have zero turbines. Also, if groups G2 and G3 define all the necessary applications for Grid Connected turbines, then groups G4, G5, and G6 will be empty. A single physical turbine can be included in more than one group depending on how it functions for a specific application. In Dual Mode, the same turbines are in the Stand Alone group and in the specified Grid Connect groups. 400026 Rev E (March 2014) Page 13 of 56 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.
