Microturbines: Applications for Distributed Energy Systems Claire Soares
Publisher:

The Sendai microgrid is a small distributed energy system with a total output of only 1 megawatt, but its setup yields certain advantages that make up for its diminutive size. Capstone Turbine Corp., the premiere clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems in the world, announced today that it will be launching a first-of-its-kind interactive iPad app called “Capstone World 2.0.” Using this revolutionary iPad app, anyone can When users enter Capstone World 2.0, they first experience the Distributed Energy Calculator, also available at http://distributedenergycalculator.com. Distributed generation technologies range from small microturbines and fuel cells to larger reciprocating engines and simple cycle gas turbines. APC's next generation fuel cell backup product represents one of the first commercial uses of fuel cell technology for data center environments,” said John DiPippo, senior vice president, APC Data Center Solutions, Software “Caterpillar is a significant part of our distribution strategy and we are extremely pleased with their increasing momentum and commitment to critical power systems solution sales.”. SSI columnist Paul The company's extremely scalable, enterprise-class video security technologies redefine the use of surveillance in outdoor and perimeter applications through the use of intelligent algorithms that enhance video transmission and bandwidth, and reduce power. These facilities were the beneficiaries of an experimental microgrid project fed by three types of energy generators—fuel cells, solar panels, and natural gas microturbines. The leading security trade publication chose the Helios™ solar-powered, wireless surveillance system from MicroPower as one of the most inventive products of 2012. "But I see value in specific applications, where you have initial costs that can be offset with gains in reliability," he says. *Turbogenerator (registered tradename of Honeywell Power Systems, Inc.) Microturbines are becoming widespread for distributed power and combined heat and power applications. Capstone makes microturbines that can run on natural gas.
