CHP ROUND-UP
The market’s ‘smartest’ 1 MW turbine energy system
Capstone Turbine Corporation’s 1 MW Capstone C1000S microturbine is part of the company’s new Signature series of microturbine energy systems; it is also available in 600 kW and 800 kW versions.
Capstone’s UK representative, Turner EPS, says the C1000S incorporates ‘numerous system and design upgrades intended to improve overall product quality and enhance the microturbine ownership experience in all applications, but specifically CHP and CCHP’. The microturbine features ‘the same proven technology’ as the original C1000, such
Helping limited money go further
Clarke Energy says it is proud to have reached 67 MW of installed CHP capacity within the NHS. It said: “Our installations span the length and breadth of the country, and include schemes at Barts Health NHS Trust, London’s Kings College Hospital, Manchester’s Christie Hospital, and Guy’s & St Thomas’.” The company added: “Using a CHP or cogeneration plant in a hospital is an ideal way to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions; its utilisation helps limited financial resources go further. A CHP plant facilitates the high efficiency use of natural gas by recovering not only electricity, but also heat. If the hospital has a need for cooling, hospital trigeneration (or combined cooling, heat, and power – CCHP) technology can produce a supplementary source of cold water for refrigeration or air-conditioning.
“Hospitals are high energy consumers. Energy usage takes a number of forms, including electricity – to power the lighting and equipment: hot water – for cleaning and general use; steam for sterilisation and cleaning, and cooling – for refrigeration, freezing, and air-conditioning systems. Each of these energy types can be produced at high efficiency with the assistance of CHP.”
as advanced combustion controls, engine redundancy, and remote monitoring. The C1000S is also covered by Capstone’s Factory Protection Plan ‘to guarantee operational excellence and low lifecycle costs for up to nine years’. Turner EPS said: “The updates and changes implemented into the Signature series are intended to strengthen the
position of the C1000S as the smartest 1 MW turbine energy system on the global distributed generation market.” Improvements include:
n Integrated heat recovery for CHP and CCHP.
n Two-stage air filtration. n An improved enclosure. n A relocated engine exhaust stack.
