Calabasas Landfill Microturbine Power Generation Project
The paper presents the districts' experience with renewable power generation, and documents the lessons learned during the first year of operation of the microturbine power plant, including operational history, gas pre-treatment system, and cost effectiveness of the project. Upgrades to the system are also discussed, including modifications to the control...
Advanced Microturbine System: Power When and Where You Need It Clean and Simple
This paper discusses the Advanced Microturbine System. The Capstone Baseline Turbine consists of single stage centrifugal compressor, single stage radial inflow turbine, powerhead and generator utilize same shaft, air bearings etc. The Recuperator development is similar to the configuration used on Capstone 30 kW and 60 kW and meets effectiveness...
Microturbine Applications and Issues
The paper describes about Applications and Issues of MicroTurbines. MicroTurbines may generate energy at a lower cost than peak utility power. Thus businesses pay less for electricity and leave more power available for all others in the region. 60 percent of buildings in the US have peak loads that are...
Radisson Santa Maria
This study describes about power generation and energy systems used at Radisson Santa Maria. With the support of hotel partner Hardy Hearn, a advocate of energy conservation and distributed power generation, the hotel management team worked with PowerHouse Energy PHE to reduce the hotel's cost of electricity, hot water and...
Crushing the High Cost of Grape "Juice": An Innovative California Vineyard Finds Alternate Energy Technology Ripe for Picking
Axiom Engineers approached McMinn with an innovative concept: A new but proven energy technology that would generate power nearly seven times more cleanly than the local utility power plants. As an added benefit, the ultra-low-emission exhaust would provide process hot water and facility heating in cooler months. The 600°F exhaust...
Declaring Independence From Grid Power Uncertainties: Generating Onsite Power With Capstone Benefits Production, the Environment and the Bottom Line
This study describes about Generating Onsite Power with Capstone Benefits Production. At Harbec Plastics, the waste produced at each step becomes the input for the next step. Even the scraps swept off the floor become raw material used to create fresh new products. Electric power keeps Harbec moving, but a...
Top Turbine Technology Triumphs in Tinseltown
Faith Plating, a leader in vehicle plating, fabricates plastic and steel bumpers for many cars and trucks alongside gleaming exhaust pipes and handlebars for motorcycle manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson. Essential to Faith Plating's operations has been the need for a reliable supply of electricity and hot water. External factors like...
A Source of Pollution Becomes a Source of Clean Energy
The 50 Capstone MicroTurbine systems atop the Lopez Canyon landfill comprise the most microturbines installed at a single site to date. This array, purchased and installed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power LADWP, can export up to 1.3 megawatts of electricity net, enough to power about 1,300...
Keeping the Lines of Communication Open: Capstone Onsite Power to Ensures Uninterrupted Telecommunications
Boeing required 20 kW power for six hours duration. UPS batteries and genset engines were the conventional choice, but not the best fit with the company's requirements. Genset noise, emissions, and vibration would be difficult to mitigate. Opting for a different power solution, Boeing chose the Capstone MicroTurbine. The Capstone...
A Dual-Technology Power System Puts the Wind in Wintershall's Sails
Wintershall's success in oil and gas exploration and production spans more than 70 years. Wintershall opted for a Capstone MicroTurbine array as the prime power source for their new Q4-C platform. This helped in creating reliable remote power while minimizing scheduled maintenance and diesel fuel delivery for an unmanned gas...
An Historic College Takes a Modern Approach to Energy Conservation
Pasadena City College wanted to reduce demand on the power grid by generating power onsite. Capstone MicroTurbines took over the function of a pool water heater while cleanly generating power for onsite use. It helped in offsetting more than 2,500 kilowatt-hours of utility power demand every day. It serves as...
Draft Final Report - Cogeneration for Hornsby Central Library
The Hornsby Central Library project involved re-engineering the conventional air conditioning system in Hornsby Central Library to exploit waste heat from a gas-powered microturbine that also serves to provide the primary electricity supply to the building. Recovery of thermal energy from the microturbine exhaust gas is a key element of...
A New Equation for Fuel Into Energy
The Netherlands' natural gas utility, Gasunie, identified the Bosbad facility as an ideal fit for a Capstone system. The large, indoor/outdoor pool previously employed one central boiler. Gasunie's Capstone-powered CHP system has delivered impressive numbers. In winter months when the facility's indoor pool is in use, the "winter loop," which...
Fighting the Greenhouse Effect: An Abandoned Coalmine Uses Capstone MicroTurbines to Eliminate Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The challenge was to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from a closed coalmine while generating valuable onsite power. The Capstone MicroTurbine provides the solution by burning coalmine methane as fuel, virtually eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, and generating electricity for use onsite and for export. Sumitomo Coal Mining selected a Capstone solution...
A Utility That Practices and Preaches Energy Efficiency
Minnesota's largest natural gas distribution company serving Minneapolis and more than 240 other communities, needed to reduce electricity costs at its liquefied natural gas production and storage facility, they selected a Capstone MicroTurbine combined heat and power CHP system. The Capstone MicroTurbine generates onsite electricity for peak shaving to lessen...
A Supermarket Stays Dry and Cool
The challenge was to, simultaneously extend shelf life of a supermarket's perishables while cutting energy costs. Reducing both humidity and peak power demand are seemingly distinct tasks. Now one technology can address both priorities: The Meidensha MioSpectrum, powered by Capstone drives a desiccant system to lower humidity while generating electricity...
