Capstone Turbine Corporation Model C200 User’s Manual 3.4.3. Setting the System for Dual Mode Operation To set the system to Dual Mode, use either the display panel or the user port. If using the display panel, you must log on with a password. Navigate to the top-level System Data menu, then the System Configuration submenu, and then the Power Connect submenu, and then select DUAL MODE and press the ACCEPT button. 3.4.4. Switching Times for Dual Mode C200 microturbines include the capability for Fast Transfer between Grid Connect and Stand Alone modes. During a transition from Grid Connect and Stand Alone, the protected load will experience less than 10 seconds of power loss. When transferring back from Stand Alone to utility grid power, the protected loads will experience even less duration of power loss, and the microturbine(s) will remain in Hot Standby until the utility grid has remained stable for at least 5 minutes (this delay time is adjustable from 5 to 30 minutes). The microturbines(s) will then automatically transition back to Grid Connect operation. 3.5. MultiPac Operation Standard C200 models can be configured into an array of up to 20 microturbines (or 30 when used with the optional Capstone APS). C200 hazardous location models can be configured with up to four microturbines controlled by a Capstone hazardous location controller. Such arrays operate as a single power generation source. This MultiPac capability features a single control point (the master unit) and the combined synchronous output of the units in the MultiPac. Individual microturbines share power, current, and load on both a dynamic and steady state basis. Refer to the C200 Technical Reference (410066) for details. MultiPac operation allows controlling the individual microturbines through the master unit. Observation and control of each microturbine in a MultiPac can be accomplished by the connection of a communications interface device through the master unit or APS. Any microturbine or the APS can be designated as the master unit. This unit then becomes the physical and logical control connection point for the entire MultiPac system. Contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider for additional information on establishment of a MultiPac system. 3.5.1. MultiPac Grid Connect Operation In Grid Connect operation, each microturbine independently synchronizes to the grid. MultiPac functionality provides a single interface point for Start, Stop, and Power Demand control. It is not necessary to connect a modem or signals from an external power meter to each individual microturbine in a MultiPac, only to the master unit. 3.5.2. MultiPac Stand Alone Operation In Stand Alone operation, MultiPac functionality provides the capability to synchronize the voltage source outputs of the individual microturbines such that they share power and current on both a dynamic and steady state basis. The master microturbine unit broadcasts synchronization data to the other units over a dedicated Capstone-proprietary digital communications bus.
