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.) 3.2.6. 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.) 3.2.7. Grid Connect Power Demand In Grid Connect operation, the microturbine system must be commanded to a specific output power level. Each dispatch mode includes a power level setting. Some dispatch modes include automatic output power level changes. 3.3. Stand Alone Operation Stand Alone operation provides power to remote facilities such as construction sites, offshore oil platforms, or other locations where the electric utility grid is not available. It requires the battery-equipped Dual Mode model or hazardous location microturbine. Stand Alone operation consists of commanding the system on or off, and then enabling or disabling the power output. These commands can be automated. Refer to the C200 Technical Reference (410066) for details on Stand Alone operation. Refer to Using the Display Panel on page 35 for instructions to make Stand Alone settings at the display panel. 3.3.1. Configuring Stand Alone To configure the microturbine for Stand Alone operation it is necessary to enable the Stand Alone Interlock and then configure the system to Stand Alone mode. On a standard C200 model this is done through the display panel or RS-232 commands via the user port. For a hazardous location microturbine, CRMS must be used through the hazardous location controller to configure the unit to operate in Stand Alone mode. 400008 Rev G (October 2013) Page 27 of 64 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.
