Operation of the Capstone 60 in parallel with a utility grid consists only of commanding the system on or off, and commanding an output power level. In most configurations these commands are mostly or entirely automated in various ways termed dispatch modes. Configuring the Capstone 60 for Grid Connect To configure the Capstone 60 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 RS232 commands over the remote communications interface: the User Interface Port (UIP) or Maintenance Interface Port. Grid Connect Interlock The Grid Connect Interlock consists of a pair of 5 volt dry circuit contact terminals. A low resistance closed circuit between these terminals permits Grid Connect operation, and opening the circuit disallows Grid Connect operation. The terminals are found on J12 in the Communications Bay at the rear of the enclosure. 12 11 Terminals 3 and 5 10 must be connected 9 Commanding the System ON The Capstone 60 in grid parallel operation must be explicitly commanded ON. Even if the system is configured for automatic operation, the initial ON command is required to enable the automatic mode. If the AutoRestart feature is enabled, the ON command is stored by the system even through a loss of grid power. To command the system ON from the Display Panel Keyboard, press and hold the INTERLOCK key, and then press the START key. INTERLOCK KEY Commanding the System OFF The Capstone 60 system may be commanded OFF at any time. In grid parallel operation, an explicit OFF command will override any dispatch mode settings. To command the system OFF from the Display Panel Keyboard, press and hold the INTERLOCK key, and then press the STOP key. The shutdown process includes a cooldown period which can last up to 10 minutes, depending on operating temperature at shutdown. During the cooldown cycle, the power output and fuel supply are off but the MicroTurbine continues to rotate to dissipate excess heat.

When the remote control connection is removed, control reverts to the Display Panel. 511518-001 11 System OperationPDF Image | CAPSTONE 60 SYSTEM OPERATION
