Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Advanced Power Server (APS): User’s Manual Power Dispatch Dispatch Sequence Settings The Power Dispatch configuration settings are the settings that control how the individual MicroTurbines within the group are run to meet the power demand of the group. There are three different modes of operation for Power Dispatch. The first and most basic mode is the load balance mode. In this mode, the power demand for the group is split equally between all the functional turbines and all the turbines are run regardless of the level of the power demand. This mode of operation is good if your load is relatively continuous and near the full capacity of all the turbines in the group. The Stop Delay Time (min) value, as shown in Figure 19, associated with the Load Balance selection box is not currently used and will have no effect on operation. The next available power dispatch mode is the Max Efficiency mode. This mode tries to run the minimum number of turbines at or near full power to meet the load demand. This automated mode of operation is a good choice if the load varies significantly during operation. For example, if your load is 230kW during the day, with a six-unit group the Max Efficiency operating mode would most likely be running four C65 units. If the load drops to 50kW at night, the Max Efficiency control would most likely turn off three units and only run one unit. Keeping the running units as close to their available output maximizes their running efficiency, which minimizes fuel costs. Figure 24. Max Efficiency I/O Window When you click the Maximum Efficiency power dispatch mode of operation checkbox, the Max Efficiency I/O window will appear as shown in Figure 24, allowing you to set up this mode of operation. There are several settings you can adjust to customize the Maximum Efficiency operating mode. For the Minimum Capacity and Spinning Reserve, you have the option of clicking the User button (as seen in Figure 24) to identify if the setting for this input is through the textbox in this window or from an external source. A description and setting options for each distinct input in the Max Efficiency I/O window can be seen in Table 9. 400011 Rev A (June 2007) Page 32 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
