Performance
Factors Affecting Performance
, · The microturbine performance is affected by ambient
temperature, elevatia,n, engine configuration, intake
or exhaust restrictions, and installed options.
Standard Rating Conditions
Combustion turbine powered devices (including
microturbines) are typically rated at 15 °C (59 °F) at
sea level, or one atmosphere, which is 760 mm Hg
( 14.696 psi a) and identified as "ISO conditions."
These ISO conditions form a shorthand for a complete
definition of testing conditions from the International
Standardization Organization (ISO 3977-2).
Temperature
Ambient air temperature has an appreciable affect on
both power output and thermal efficiency. Designers
contemplating applications of the microturbine should
consider the affects of ambient temperature on
performance. Charts on the following pages illustrate
these affects for various optional configurations of the
Capstone Model 330 MicroTurbine.
Elevation
Elevation affects power output by changing the
density of the air. Although local weather changes in
barometric pressure have the .same effect, power
derating for elevation may be estimated to be 1 % per
100 meters above sea level or 3% per 1000 feet above
sea level, assuming equivalent ambient temperatures,
Use these derating estimates only for ambient
temperatures above rs °C (59 °F), as lower ambient
temperatures may .offset the effects of elevation.
Elevation affect on efficier:icy is negligible.
inlet or Exhaust Restrictions
Microturbine-air intake restrictions will reduce
available power. Factory-supplied air filter elements
must be cleaned or replaced at the recommended
intervals (or sooner in dusty environments).
nsta ation & Start-Up 52
Exhaust back pressure will reduce available power and
. excessive restrictions may damage the turbine.
The maximum allowable exhaust back pressure on the
microturbine is 203 mm (8 inches) water column
(15mm Hg), measured at the exhaust pipe, 254 mm
(10 inches) from the,engine.
Percentage power loss from back pressure is charted
on page 55.
Humidity
Humidity affect on power and efficiency is negligible.
Misting
The practice of adding water mist to the inlet of a
combustion turbine to increase power is effective
because it lowers the ambient temperature of the air
entering the turbine. Due to possible effects of misting
on the microturbine air filter, generator, and-other
components, engineering approval is required. Please
contact Capstone Customer Service 1-800-282-8966 I
or service@capstoneturbine.com before
contemplating misting in your application.
Emissions
The following table lists exhaust emissions of oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) for various microturbine configurations
at full power, ISO conditions, corrected to 15% o2.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Introduction
This rnanual'presents information necessary for the
owner/user to operate and maintain the Capstone
· Micro Turbine throughout its normal operational life.
Information pertaining to proper installation, initial
commissioning and establishing operational
parameters of the microturbine is found in the
Installation and Start-up Manual. Basic trouble-
shooting is included in this manual but detailed
troubleshooting and repair of the microturbine is
intended to be performed only by a Capstone
Authorized Service Provider.
System Overview
The Capstone Micro Turbine is a clean, compact source
of electrical power and heat. The Capstone
Micro Turbine makes the concept of distributed
generation a reality.
The Capstone MicroTurbine is an adaptable, low-
emissions and low maintenance power generation
system.

'.·~··
A turbine-driven high-speed generator is coupled with
digital power electronics to produce high quality
electrical power.
Alternating current electrical power may be paralleled
with a utility grid or with another generation source,
or the microturbine can act as a stand alone generator
for standby, backup, or remote off-grid power.
Multiple systems can be combined and controlled as a
single larger generating source, called a MultiPac.
Direct current power output versions can be used in a
variety of applications, including onboard generators
in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV), see HEV manual.
In addition to producing electricity, the microturbine
prodaces usable exhaust heat. The dry, oxygen-rich
exhaust can be used directly, thanks to Capstone's
patented combustion technology which produces an
ultra-low emissions signature, characterized by less
than 9 parts per million of NOx (oxides of nitrogen).
The microturbine can efficiently use a wide range of
· hydrocarbon-based gaseous and liquid fuels .

System Design Features
Design Features
• State-of-the-art digital power conditioning pro-
vides three output choices: (1) built-in synchro-
nous AC with built-in protective relay functions,
(2) stand alone AC output (optional), and m DC
output (also optional).
• Popular configurations are UL 2200 listed.
• Patented air bearings eliminate the need for oil or
other lubricants.
• Air cooled design of the entire system (engine and
controller) eliminates the need for liquid coolants.
• Only one moving part in the engine. No gears, no
belts, and no engine-driven accessories.
• Advanced combustion control eliminates the need
for ceramics or for o.ther costly materials and for
catalytic combustion.
• An integral annular recuperator (or heat
exchanger), doubles thermal efficiency.
• Digital control technology facilitates advanced
control, monitoring, and diagnostic capab.ilities,
both onboard and remote (RS-232 link).
Gas Microturbine
The microturbine power plant is a combustion turbine
which includes a compressor, a recuperator, a
combustor, a turbine, and a generator. The rotating
components are mounted on a single shaft supported
by air bearings and spin at up to 96,000 RPM. The
permanent magnet generator is cooled by the airflow
into the microturbine. The output of the generator is
variable voltage, varia~le frequency AC power. The
generator is used as a motor both during start-up and.
during cooldown cycles.
Controller
The Digital Power Controller (DPC) controls the
microturbine system operation and all subsystem
operations. The DPC performs power conversion
functions, while converting variable frequency power
from the generator to DC voltage and then to
constant fre'quency AC current or variable voltage DC
current.
During start up, the DPC operates as a variable
frequency drive, and motors the generator until
power is available from the microturbine. The DPC
again opefates as a drive during cooldown to dissipate
heat stored ·in the recuperator and engine structure in
order to protect the various engine components.
Fuel Systems
The microturbine includes an integral fuel delivery and
control system. The standard system is designed for
pressurized gaseous hydrocarbon based fuels. Other
models are available for low pressure gaseous fuels,
gaseous fuels with lower heat contents, gaseous fuels
with corrosive components, and liquid fuels.
Enclosure
The Capsfone MicroTurbine Standard Enclosure is an
award-winning distinctive and functional design that
permits side-by-side installation of multiple individual
systems without impacting serviceability. The standard
enclosure is for indoor or outdoor use, and is designed
to Type 3R, UL 50.
A lighter weight Capstone Industrial Enclosure (also
Type 3R) with a more conventional appearance is
available for more environmentally severe applications
in which side-by-side installation is not needed.
The Open Package version is suitable for integration
into single or multiple system skid-mounted
enclosures which may also include fuel treatment and/
or heat recovery equipment.
Capstone components for OEM use may be provided
with or without a microturbine mounting frame.
Battery System
The Capstone Micro Turbine when equipped with the
Stand-alone Option, includes a large battery used for
unassisted start and for transient electrical load
management. The system includes an inverter and
battery management system which keeps the battery
optimally charged. The battery is a lead-acid type,
completely"sealed and maintenance free.

•' Applications Overview
The Capstone MicroTurbine is a versatile power and
, ... heat generation system suitable for a wide ·range of
applications. Capstone's proprietary design allows
users to optimize energy costs while operating in
parallel with an electric grid. The microturbine can
pr.ovide prime power generation where the electric
grid is not readily available or where service is
unreliable. The microturbine can produce DC power
for an expanding variety of mobil.e and OEM
applications.
Distributed Generation
The microturbine produces synchronous current when
connected to an electric grid. It allows ·electric utilities
to expand generating capacity in small increments,
thus optimizing the existing infrastructure and
reducing or delaying the need to develop, fund, and

The microturbine can augment utility supply during
peak load periods, thus increasing power reliabi.lity
and reducing or eliminating peak demand charges.
Combine Peak Shaving and Standby
The microturbine can be used for both grid connect
power and stand alone power for protected loads, and
may be programmed to switch automatically (with the
Dual Mode Controller Option) upon loss/restoration of
grid power. The microturbine, with its low emissions,
low maintenance requirements, and high reliability is
well suited for combining peak-shaving and standby
power applications.
Stand-alone Power
When equipped with the Stand-alone Option, the
system can power connected lo~ds at user-selected
voltage and frequency. It can power remote facilities
such as construction sites, oil fields, off-shore
platforms, and other locations where the electric grid
is not available. ·
MultiPac Power
Capstone MicroTurbines may be configured into
grot1ps of up to 10 systems. Such an array will operate
as a single generating source. This Multi Pac capability
features a single control point and ganged
synchronous output. Individual microturbines share
power, current, and load on both a dynamic and
steady state basis.
Resource Recovery
Capstone MicroTurbine models are available that use
oil field flare-casing gases or low energy (as low as 350
Btu) landfill/digester gases as fuel sources. Versions of
these are available that can accept up to 7% sour gas
(H2S) content. This application eliminates
uneconomical polluting gases and provides power for
on site use as a by-product. Where waste gas
incineration is a priority, the Nonrecuperated (Simple
Cycle) Model provides the same electrical output while
destroying ·twice the gas volume.
Combined Heat and Power
Restaurants and other commercial businesses can
combine their need for electricity with the Capstone
Micro Turbine's clean exhaust for heating, absorption
cooling, dehumidification, and baking or drying.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
The microturbine can serve as an onboard cooldown
generator in heavy hybrid electric vehicles, extending
operating range and payload, minimizing
maintenance, and limiting emissions to such a low
point that the EPA has stated that Capstone
Micro Turbines do not require certification for use in
transportation.
OEM Applications
The micr.oturbine core technology can be integrated
into a wide variety of products and system.s. Uninter-
ruptible power supplies, all-in-one combined heat and
power systems, and welding machines are just a few
examples.

Notes on Output Measurement Units
Pressure
Figures denoting pressure in this document assume
gauge pressure, or one standard atmosphere less than
absolute pressure, unless otherwise indicated.
Volume
Fuel gas and exhaust gas volumetric measurements
are listed in normal cubic meters (Nm3) and standard
cubic feet (scf). These volumes are defined· at 1
atmosphere (760 mm Hg, 14.696 psia) and 15.6 °C
(60 °F).
Heating Values
Heat contents and heat rates will be found in either
lower heating value (LHV) (dry) or high heating value
(HHV), depending upon the application. Capstone
calculates heating values at 1 atm (or 760 mm Hg,
14.696 psia) and 15.6 °C (60 °F), according to the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
D3588.
Electrical Output
The Model 330 Microturbine produces a maximum of
30 kW at International Standardization Organization
(ISO) conditions of 15 °C (59 °F) at sea level. This
output capability is reduced by higher ambient
temperatures or elevations, or by intake or exhaust
restrictions, and some options.
Grid Connect Output
The Model 330 electrical output in grid connect mode
is 3-phase, 400 to 480 VAC and 45 to 65 Hz (both
voltage and frequency are determined by the grid).
Allowable connection types include:
• 4-wire wye
• 3-wire wye with neutral grounding resistor
• 3-wire corner grounded delta
Stand-alone Output
When equipped with the Stand-alone option, the
electrical output is user adjustable from 150 to 480
VAC, 10 to 60 Hz.
The maximum power is 10 kW (with 46 amps), per
phase (including neutral), continuous, and need not
be balanced. Loads may be connected phase-phase or
phase-neutral, so long as the current limits are
respected. Overloads up to 54 amps per phase for up
to 10 seconds can be accommodated. The Ramp Start
feature can assist in starting loads with large in-rush
currents.
Direct Current Output
The microturbine can produce direct current from 240
to 700 VDC. Direct current output is limited to 30 kW
or 46 amps per phase continuous, 54 amps
overcurrent, up to 10 seconds.

Electrical ·arid Electronits ·Engineers (IEEE) 519-1992,
IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for
Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems, IEEE,
New York.
Heat Output
Recuperated Model 330 systems produce up to fully
305,000 kilojoules (290,000 Btu) per hour of clean,
usable exhaust heat at temperatures in the range of
261 °C to 315 °C (500 °F to 600 °F), due to system-to-
system variations and/or ambient conditions.
The Nonrecuperated Model 330 (Simple Cycle) system
produces 720,000 kilojoules (680,000 Btu) per hour at
temperatures in the range of 518 °C to 57 4 °C (965 °F
to 1065 °F).
When designing the exhaust ducting, the upper end
of the temperature ranges should be used.
The exhaust stream is 127 mm (5 inches) in diameter,
-flowing up to 17 Nm3 (550 scfm). See the table on

System Operating Modes
Grid Connect Mode
The microturbine, when in Grid Connect mode, is
connected in parallel to the electricity grid and delivers
electricity to grid connected loads. Electricity
generated by the microturbine is supplied to these
loads only when the utility is present. during grid
supply interruptions, the microturbine senses the loss
and immediately disconnects from the grid. When the
utility returns, the system can restart automatically and
resume supplying electricity to the connected loads. In
Grid Connect mode, the microturbine is a current
source only, the existing grid is used for both voltage
and frequency reference.
Stand-alone Mode
When the microturbine is equipped with the Stand-
alone option connected loads may be powered directly
and the microturbine is a voltage and current source.
A battery system provides energy for starting and
transient demand management.
MultiPac Mode
Up to 10 Capstone Micro Turbines can be operated as
a single system. MultiPacs are numbered 2-10. The
master or controlling system is always number 1. All
the systems are then controlled and viewed from
either the display panel, the user interface or the
maintenance interface.
Reconfiguring the Microturbine
The Capstone MicroTurbine is normally programmed
for a specific operation profile (configured) just once,
during the commissioning of the system. Further
configuration changes are rare but may be needed if
the electrical or regulatory environment changes, or if
the application of the microturbine system changes.
Some microturbine applications may require
reconfiguring the system to switch between Grid
Connect and Stand-alone modes of operation. Those
configuration instructions are found later in this
manual.
Configuration changes are accomplished via the
display panel or over the communication port using
Capstone Remote Monitoring Software (sold
separatelyI or other software utilizing Capstone's open
communication protocols.
For specific configuration and setup programming
instructions refer to the Installation & Start-Up

• Basic System Operation
Basic System Operation Overview
There are three ways for the user to communicate
with the microturbine:
• Display panel
• User interface port
• Maintenance interface port
Also some basic communications can be accomplished
by making or breaking contact between pairs of
terminals on the printed circuit board located in the
communications bay found on the rear of the system.
The user may communicate directly through the
display panel mounted on the microturbine or through
a personal computer connected to the user interface
port (UIP). The PC may be connected to the UIP either
directly (RS-232 Dsub9 null modem cable) or via
phone line and optional modem. Communication is
then possible using Capstone's optional Capstone
Remote Monitoring Software program on the PC, or
other program using Capstone's open communication
protocol.
Start-up
The microturbine start up process includes motoring,
ignition, warm up, and acceleration to full load. The
start-up process from a cold start to full load requires
approximately two minutes or less with new open
nozzle engines. Start up can be commanded from the
display panel or via remote means through the use of
the user interface port or the maintenance interface
port using the Capstone Remote Monitoring System.
Shutdown
After the command is entered for a system shutdown,
power output is automatically terminated, followed by
a period during which the microturbine is motored at
nominal speed to cool the various components. The
overall cooldown period is approximately ten minutes,
but is affected by operating temperature at the time of
shutdown. Approximately six minutes into the
cooldown period, a restart may be initiated.
If the battery requires recharging (after a stop
command is issued), the microturbine will remain at
45,000 rpm to recharge the battery up to 90 to 95%
prior to stopping completely. The battery normally
requires as much as 20 minutes to recharge following
an Off Command.
1. If an optional emergency stop (E-Stop) switch is
installed, it may be initiated locally by the opera-
tor. The following typical actions occur during an
E-Stop: 1) Power export ceases
2. The output contactor is opened
3. The gas fuel solenoid valve is closed;
4. The compressor bypass valve opens;
5. Internal power is shut down, and
6. The rotor coasts to a stop.
Emergency stops should only be used for emergency
conditions and should NEVER be used for routine
shut-downs. Emergency stops increase stress on the
system components and will result in reduced service
life of the microturbine.
Routine Operation
Most microturbine applications require no regular
interaction with an operator during normal operation.
Built-in dispatch features include peak shaving with
local or remote control, external switching control,
programmable scheduling, automatic restarting and
automatic reloading.
Load following may be accomplished in grid connect
applications through the use of an external power
meter (not included).
Routine Operating Data
Routine operating data is not archived in the digital
power controller (DPC). The display panel, the user
communications port, and the maintenance
communications port may be used to recover current
values of the following routine operating data:
• Power output (kW)
• Turbine speed (RPM)
• Turbine exit temperature (TET) (degrees C)
• Phase voltages, currents, and power

~-· Communications Interfaces
Communications Interfaces
Set-up, control, and monitoring of the microturbine is
managed through the display panel, the user interface
port (UIP), and the maintenance interface port. Some
operating communications are accomplished via the
field wiring terminals. Primary user communications
include:
• Establishing operating parameters and settings
• Starting and stopping the microturbine
• Adjusting power output
• Recovering operating data
Maintenance and commissioning communication
functions include:
• Establishing operating modes
• Establishing operating parameter set points/limits
• Establishing dispatch modes and parameters
• Recovering event data, and troubleshooting
These communications are accomplished through the
use of one of the following:
Display Panel
The front-mounted display panel includes a keypad, a
display window, navigation buttons, and system
controls.
User Interface Port
A Dsub9 RS-232 serial communications port is located
in the user connection bay and is available for remote
operation. A Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/NT
based computer, RS-232 cable, and Capstone Remote
Monitoring System (CRMS) software are used to
communicate through this port. Optionally, a modem
and an analog phone line may be connected to the
port for remote operation.
Maintenance Interface Port
A Dsub25 RS-232 serial communications port is
located in the user connection bay and is functionally
identical to the user interface port.
