Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Glossary of Terms and Acronyms C-TICK – Mark for conformance with Australian EMC requirements. cUL – The Canadian equivalent to U.S. UL. CURRENT – A flow of electrons in an electrical conductor. The rate of movement of the electricity, measured in amperes. D/A CONVERTER – Digital-to-Analog Converter. DAC – Digital-to-Analog Converter. DAS – Data Acquisition System. DC – Direct Current. DC BUS – High voltage, bi-directional link between ECM, LCM and any external device (BCM, FGC) through which power is transmitted. DCE – Data Communications Equipment. DEMAND – The amount of electricity that must be generated to meet all customer needs. “Demand” and “load” are often used interchangeably. DG - Distributed Generation. DIAGNOSTIC TEST - This is a test of a product to determine if all parts are functioning properly. If the diagnostic test determines that there is problem, the test also attempts to isolate which part of the product is not performing correctly. (Isolation down to a single part is seldom perfect, but always will narrow the possible malfunctions to make the service persons’ job easier.) DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (DSP) – The use of computers to process various types of signals. DIRECTION OF ROTATION – The direction of rotation is determined by the direction the turbine rotor rotates when you are positioned aft looking in the forward direction (from the UCB to the air inlet). Capstone MicroTurbine generators rotate clockwise. DIRECTIVE – EU Law, specifying compliance legislation that applies to a product that is placed on the market or put into service. DISPLAY or DISPLAY PANEL – A user interface panel that allows the user to monitor the MicroTurbine generator system activity, or supply input to the system. DMC – Dual Mode Controller. Provides the MicroTurbine user with the capability to automatically transition from Grid Connect operation to isolated Stand Alone operation when a utility outage occurs. When utility power is restored, the DMC can be set to automatically return the MicroTurbine to Grid Connect service. The DMC also allows the MicroTurbine to be used as an automatically dispatched standby generator. DPC – Digital Power Controller. Controls the MicroTurbine operations and all power conversion. During MicroTurbine start-up, the DPC operates as a variable frequency drive supplying power to the turbogenerator until sufficient power is available from the turbogenerator. 400002-001 Rev D (September 2004) Page 5 of 22 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
