Clean Microturbine Power What makes the CMT-380 Supercar unique is its microturbine. The Capstone microturbine is a small gas turbine or miniature jet engine. The electric generator and turbine components are mounted on a single shaft, which is supported by air bearings – so there are never any oil changes. It uses a patented combustion system to achieve extremely low exhaust emissions, and its patented recuperator recycles exhaust energy to get high fuel efficiency. Driving Modes Generator Cooling Fins Exhaust Outlet Recuperator Fuel Injector Combustion Chamber Air Intake Generator Compressor Air Bearings Turbine The CMT-380 can operate in three driving modes. The selection of these modes can be done at any time, and the vehicle control system will automatically take care of the rest: • Battery Only – in Battery Only Mode, the microturbine is left in the off mode and power comes solely from the energy stored in the vehicle’s battery system. The microturbine will automatically start when a minimum battery state of charge is reached. • Full Performance – in Full Performance Mode, the microturbine is started to sustain the battery state of charge and maintain optimal vehicle performance. This preserves the full regenerative braking capability for highest fuel economy, and simultaneously assures that maximum power is available to the drive motor. • Max Range – the Max Range Mode provides the user the option to automatically determine when the microturbine should start based on the calculated energy to reach the planned destination. Using input from a GPS Navigation system, the vehicle control system ensures there will be sufficient battery energy remaining. This minimizes use of on-board fuel, while eliminating driver “electric range anxiety.” Stationary Modes When parked, the CMT-380 can be connected to an electrical system through its charging port. While connected to an electrical distribution system, several operating modes are possible: • Immediate Recharge – plug it in, and tell the system to charge immediately. • Time-of-Use Recharge – delay recharging to when the electric rates are most economic. • User Power – the CMT-380 can also output power to an electric distribution system or critical load. Now your car becomes emergency power for your home or office. • Utility Coordinated (future) – as more plug-in hybrid electric vehicles get into service, there will be standards established that will allow local electric utilities and/or recharge providers to provide added value to both the vehicle user and the electric distribution system. (1) Performance and fuel economy are preliminary estimates based on calculations and similar electric vehicles. (2) Refers to EPA City and Highway Drive Cycles. (3) Based on published gasoline equivalent of 12,307 Wh/gallon when using electric utility power. (4) Using 50% Highway Charge Sustaining plus 50% City Charge Depleting Operating Modes. (5) Proposed SAE J1711 Method using utility factor of .82 based on 80 mile battery-only range.
