Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Advanced Power Server (APS): User’s Manual PRODUCT OPERATION All operational control of the APS product, except the APS ENABLE/STOP buttons on the front panel, is through the APS-CRMS computer software interface that was outlined above. The sections below will identify how to setup an APS configuration and how to use the software to continually monitor and operate an APS. The APS is designed to run either as a Stand Alone generator controller with all turbines in a single group, as a Grid Connect generator controller with all turbines in one to three groups or as a Dual-Mode fast transfer generator controller with all turbines in one to three groups in Grid Connect operation and some number of the total turbines in a single group in Stand Alone operation. Figure 7 shows the APS Configuration window with the Group/Turbine Setup view active where Group 1 is the Stand Alone group and Groups 2, 3, and 4 are the Grid Connect groups. This is the permanent structure of the APS grouping and the user just needs to assign turbines to each group as required. Figure 7 has been set up as a Dual-Mode system because it has turbines under both Grid Connect and Stand Alone groups. This example also shows the flexibility to have turbines from different Grid Connect groups as members of the Stand Alone group. Please keep in mind that each individual turbine needs to be setup to match this structure by configuring the individual turbine directly to be Stand Alone, Grid Connect, or Dual-Mode and to be Multipac enabled. Figure 7. APS Grouping Structure General Monitoring and Command Control There are three windows that are primarily for monitoring the operation of MicroTurbine groups in the APS-CRMS PC software. They are the Advanced Power Server Command/Monitor window, the Command/Monitor Strip Chart window, and the Detail Information window as shown in Figure 8. The APS Command/Monitor and Command/Monitor Strip Chart windows are linked to a particular group or group type and that group or group type is selected from the Group Select drop-down menu on the APS Command/Monitor window. The Detail Information window is not group specific and shows all turbines for the groups in the current active utility connect mode. 400011 Rev A (June 2007) Page 16 of 67 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.PDF Image | ADVANCED POWER SERVER (APS) USER’S MANUAL
