Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine Userís Manual Control Device Authority and Priority Capstone The display panel or a PC connected to the User Interface Port can function as a control device for the MicroTurbine. Either device can view system data at any time, but only one device can control the MicroTurbine operation (that is, providing start / stop command or changes to power demand). The display panel has default control authority to issue operational commands to the MicroTurbine. The user can start and stop the MicroTurbine without logging on to the system (that is, no password is required). All other system adjustments require the user to log on to the system with the user password. The User Interface Port will take control when a password is entered either from the Capstone Remote Monitoring Software or other software using the Capstone open communication protocol. All system commands via the User Interface Port, such as start, stop, and adjustment of Power Demands, require entry of a user password. When the User Interface Port has control, the display panel does not have control and can only be used to view information. The User Interface Port or the display panel is logged on after a password has been entered and accepted. The system automatically cancels a log on after five minutes of inactivity. Start-up When the MicroTurbine is issued a Start command, the generator operates as a motor to bring the MicroTurbine up to ignition speed, at which point fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber and ignited. When the Turbine Exit Temperature (TET) sensors detect an increase in temperature, the system is declared lit, and the MicroTurbine accelerates to full load. The start-up process from a cold start to full load requires up to two minutes. A start command can be issued from the display panel or remotely via the optional Capstone Remote Monitoring Software. Shutdown When the MicroTurbine is issued a Stop command, power output is reduced, followed by a period that the MicroTurbine is motored at nominal speed to remove heat stored in the recuperator and MicroTurbine engine in order to protect the system components. The overall cooldown period is up to ten minutes, but is affected by MicroTurbine model and temperature at the time of shutdown. A restart may be attempted at any time, and a start will occur after completion of the initial cooldown period. If the Stand Alone battery requires a recharge (after a stop command is issued), the MicroTurbine will continue to operate with fuel in order to recharge the battery. The MicroTurbine will enter the cool down period after the battery has reached a 90 to 95% state of charge. The battery can require as long as 20 minutes to recharge after a stop command has been issued before entering cooldown.
