Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine Userís Manual Configuring Grid Connect Capstone To configure the MicroTurbine for Grid Connect operation it is necessary to enable the Grid Connect Interlock and then command the system to Grid Connect mode either through the display panel or RS-232 commands over the remote communications interface, the User Interface Port. Grid Connect Interlock The Grid Connect Interlock consists of a pair of 5-volt dry circuit contact terminals located on the User Connection Board. A low resistance closed circuit between these terminals permits Grid Connect operation, opening the circuit disallows Grid Connect operation. The terminals are found in the Communications Bay at the rear of the MicroTurbine enclosure. Your Capstone Authorized Service Provider should make this electrical connection. Grid Connect Mode Enable To enable the Grid Connect mode, the MicroTurbine must be correctly connected to a suitable live electric utility grid and the Grid Connect Interlock must be closed. Your Capstone Authorized Service Provider should make this electrical connection. To enable the Grid Connect mode from the display panel, the user navigates to the System Data menu, then to the System Configuration submenu, and then to the Power Connect submenu. Select Grid Connect mode and then press the ACCEPT button. If the Grid Connect Interlock is open, the system will accept the command but post a GC Interlock fault, prohibiting a start. Starting a Grid Connect System The MicroTurbine system in Grid Connect mode must be commanded to start. Even if the system is configured for automatic operation, the initial START command is required to enable the automatic mode. If the Auto Restart feature is enabled, the ON command is stored by the system even through a loss of Grid Power. To start the system from the display panel, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the START button. (If your MicroTurbine has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to Start or On to start the system.) Stopping a Grid Connect System The MicroTurbine system can be stopped at any time. In Grid Connect operation, an OFF command will override any dispatch mode settings, and is stored by the system. The shutdown process includes a cool down period, which can last up to 10 minutes, depending on the operating temperature at shutdown. During the cool down cycle, the power output is reduced and fuel supply is off but the MicroTurbine continues to rotate to dissipate excess heat. A restart can be attempted at any time during a cool down period. To stop the system from the display panel, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the STOP button. (If your MicroTurbine has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to Stop or Off to stop the system.)
