Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Application Guide: C30 and C60 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Application Information for Capstone Cables from MicroTurbine to Battery Pack The OEM/Integrator is responsible for providing all cables, circuit breakers, switches, insulation, conduit, and mounting from the MicroTurbine system to the vehicle battery pack. The MicroTurbine produces DC voltage for charging the battery pack on a vehicle and uses the battery pack for starting the MicroTurbine. The battery pack needs to be connected to the MicroTurbine while MicroTurbine is in standby, starting, running, and during cooldown modes. All hardware associated with connecting the controller module to the battery pack is the responsibility of the OEM/Integrator. Capstone requires a double pole isolation switch between the MicroTurbine control module and the battery pack. This isolation switch must be mounted as close as practical to the MicroTurbine controller for service to the controller, if required. External Power Supply The OEM/Integrator is responsible for providing an external power supply to the MicroTurbine. The Model C30 MicroTurbine requires a power supply of 12 VDC (-.5/+2.5V) and 8 Amps to power the system at start up. This external power supply needs to be connected to the UCB as described in the User Connection section and shown on the System Schematic drawing. The Model C60 MicroTurbine system requires a power supply of 25 VDC (± 1V) and 5 Amps to power the system in the event the battery pack is below 300 Volts at start up. This external power supply needs to be connected to the ECM as described in the User Connection section and shown on the System Schematic drawing. Vehicle Battery Management System The OEM/Integrator is responsible for providing a battery management system to monitor the battery pack and give power commands to the MicroTurbine. HEV applications using a Capstone MicroTurbine require a battery management system be developed for the specific application. This system is required to manage the battery state of charge and determine when the MicroTurbine is required for charging the batteries, as well as how much MicroTurbine power is required during charging periods. The battery management system is connected to the MicroTurbine through an RS-232 connection to the User Interface Port on the Digital Power Controller (DPC) for the Model C30 and Engine Control Module (ECM) for the Model C60. A 9-pin serial null modem cable is used for this particular connection. RS-232 communication protocol is described in Capstone Engineering Specification ES- 0276 ìSoftware Requirements, Communications Specification (HEV)î (provided as separate document). This document describes the basic communication scheme required of the battery management system, initialization of the system, and the connections required for typical system operation. 480009-001 Rev B (October 2004) Page 39 of 54 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
