Capstone Dual Mode Operation Capstone Turbine Corporation MicroTurbine User’s Manual If the MicroTurbine is equipped with the Stand Alone option and the optional Dual Mode Controller is installed, a setting in the MicroTurbine system software enables the system to reconfigure itself to either Grid Connect or Stand Alone operation mode. This is called Dual Mode. In the case of grid loss/recovery, the operation of the MicroTurbine in Dual Mode is identical to the operation in Grid Connect mode or Stand Alone mode. Operation of the Dual Mode feature consists of switching the MicroTurbine (and protected loads) from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation, or back. NOTE Note that both the Grid Connect and Stand Alone interlock terminals must be closed for Dual Mode operation. Capstone Automatic Dual Mode Controller The Capstone Automatic Dual Mode Controller is an optional accessory that enables the MicroTurbine to automatically transition from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation when a utility power outage occurs. During a utility power outage, the MicroTurbine normally operates in Stand Alone mode to provide power to Protected Loads. The Automatic Dual Mode Controller isolates the MicroTurbine and the Protected Loads during Stand Alone operation. When utility power is restored, the Automatic Dual Mode Controller automatically returns the MicroTurbine and the Protected Loads to Grid Connect operation. The Automatic Dual Mode Controller also allows the MicroTurbine to be used as an automatically dispatched standby generator for Protected Loads. The Automatic Dual Mode Controller can: • Sense the loss of electric utility grid voltage, and then disconnect the MicroTurbine and its connected (protected) loads from the electric utility grid. • Start the system and supply Stand Alone power. • Sense the return of electric utility grid voltage, and then shut down the MicroTurbine. • Reconnect the MicroTurbine and protected loads to the electric utility grid. • Start the system and supply electric utility grid parallel power. The MicroTurbine can be configured to automatically start and load itself in either mode. Configuring Dual Mode The MicroTurbine system settings must be established for both Grid Connect parameters and Stand Alone parameters, since the system will be operating in both modes at different times. Contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider for data on establishment of these parameters. Setting the System for Dual Mode Operation To set the system to Dual Mode, use either the Display Panel or the User Interface 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. 400001-001 Rev.
