Capstone Turbine Corporation Model C200 User’s Manual 3.2. Grid Connect Operation NOTE: Grid Connect operation is not available for the hazardous location microturbine. The microturbine in Grid Connect operation allows electric utilities to expand generating capacity in small increments. This optimizes current infrastructure and reduces the need to upgrade specific site capacity and lowers overall costs. Refer to the C200 Technical Reference (410066) for details on Grid Connect operation. Refer to Using the Display Panel on page 35 for instructions to make Grid Connect settings at the display panel. 3.2.1. Grid Connect Dispatch Operation of the Capstone microturbine in parallel with an electric 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. NOTE: If Grid Power is removed for any reason, the auto restart dispatch mode can automatically command the system ON when Grid Power is restored. 3.2.2. Configuring Grid Connect 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 via the user port. 3.2.3. 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 front of the microturbine enclosure. Your Capstone Authorized Service Provider should make this electrical connection. 3.2.4. 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, requires logging on with a password; then navigate 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.
