Capstone
Turbine, the premier clean technology manufacturer of microturbines energy
systems worldwide, announced today that a pharmaceutical facility in Northern
California has placed an order for two C1000 microturbines for use in a
combined heat and power application.
The
electrical and thermal demands of the pharmaceutical facility in Northern
California will be accommodated by a partnership between Capstone Turbine Corporation’s
west coast distributor, Regatta Solutions, and Energy Systems Development. The
Capstone C1000 microturbines are capable of running in parallel with or
separate from the electric utility grid, also known as dual mode. This
capability guarantees secure and consistent power is delivered to the facility,
even in the unfortunate occurrence of a grid outage, with no operational
downtime. The dual mode feature gives the microturbines the ability to decrease
utility costs during peak hours. To further boost the efficiency of the
combined heat and power system to almost 90%, exhaust from the microturbines
will be captured to supply steam and hot water to the entire facility.
“It
was a pleasure working with the Energy Systems Development team on this opportunity.
This project is another example of smart power application of Capstone’s
product offering in delivering high energy availability and operationally
efficient energy solutions to manufacturers,” said Steven Acevedo, President
and CEO of Regatta Solutions.
Energy
Systems Development, an engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance
company based in Northern California, has been developing the site for three
years, with a targeted commissioning in March 2014. A need evolved for an
energy solution that could both provide secure power in a separate system from
the grid as well as decrease operational costs during peak hours, and Energy
Systems Development quickly selected Capstone microturbines.
According
to Stu Chang, President and CEO of Energy Systems Development, “I think that
our engineering team, with help from a real world integrator like Regatta
Solutions, has created a blueprint for the future of cogeneration. No longer do
you have to make a choice between stand alone or grid connect, you can have it
all.” Capstone microturbines, in combination with Energy Systems Development’s
cutting edge design of heat recovery units and rotary UPSs, create a truly
mission critical power plant that enhances facility operations and cuts utility
costs.
