2.2.11. Grid Connect Mode When connected to a utility grid (Grid Connect mode), the microturbine operates according to three available dispatch modes: Base Loading, Load Following, and Time of Use. These dispatch modes are described in the following paragraphs. 2.2.11.1. Base Loading Base Loading is the default dispatch mode for the microturbine in Grid Connect operation. In this mode, the microturbine generates power up to the value of the stored power demand, and the electric utility grid provides the remaining power to meet the total customer load. 2.2.11.2. Load Following Load Following is implemented in applications where the microturbine produces more power than the customer facility can use. A setting called Utility Power Setpoint is used to fix the power provided by the utility grid until the microturbine reaches its power capacity. The Utility Power Setpoint also acts as a buffer to allow the microturbine to react to large swings in the facility load. 2.2.11.3. Time of Use The Time of Use mode allows the microturbine user to selectively determine start/stop commands and/or power output levels for up to 20 timed events. Events are programmed by day of week, time of day, and power demand. When the microturbine is operating, the programmed events occur in sequential order according to the time of day. This enables efficient use of the microturbine to supplement power only during periods of the day when electricity from the utility is at a premium. 2.2.12. Dual Mode The C65 Dual Mode microturbine includes a large battery pack used for unassisted start and for transient electrical load management, as well as a power converter and battery management system. The battery pack is a lead-acid type and completely sealed. The Dual Mode model can function in Stand Alone mode to power connected loads at user selected voltage and frequency setpoints. It can power remote facilities such as construction sites, oil fields, offshore platforms, and other locations where the electric utility grid is not available. With the Dual Mode System Controller (DMSC), the microturbine can be used for both Grid Connect power and Stand Alone power applications. The microturbine can be programmed to switch automatically upon loss/restoration of electric utility grid power. 2.2.13. MultiPac Power C65 microturbines can be installed in groups of up to 20 units using a standard Capstone MultiPac communications cable. This MultiPac capability enables connected microturbines to operate as a single power generation source. A MultiPac configuration features a single control point and synchronous voltage and frequency output for all units. Individual microturbines share power, current, and load on both a dynamic and steady state basis. An optional Capstone Advanced Power Server (APS) can be used to manage the power distribution for up to 30 microturbines. 400017 Rev C (February 2013) Page 23 of 69 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.
