Capstone Turbine Corporation is the undisputed leader of the micro-turbine energy systems industry with them being the leading manufacturers. They have announced in the past week that they have received a gigantic order for side by side C800 and C200 micro-turbines that will be used in a combined power and heat application at the Federal government headquarters building in Washington DC.
Capstone’s distributor for the South Eastern and the Mid-Atlantic United States, E-finity Distributed Generation has managed to secure the order and it’s all set to be commissioned in the current year.
The micro turbines will be responsible for providing a collective 1MW of power and will aid in offsetting the electrical load of the building. The exhaust-emitted waste heat will alone be employed for the generation of around 315 tons of chilled water for the cooling system of the building. This project will also go a long way in supporting the US federal government in achieving its sustainability goals by the means of cogeneration measures.
The administration of the company has got nothing but excitement to display for the achievement of this project. They believe that this is going to be another huge uplift in their bid towards becoming the go-to turbine energy system manufacturing company. The sales and application team was able to make the federal government’s installation configuration pretty quickly in the urge to meet the requirements of the space. This side by side installation is a great depictive of the ability of modern day technology to cater for the needs of the customer.
This is another feather in the cap of Capstone turbines and soon we are going to be writing about how efficient the system has proved to be after it has been deployed. Here’s hoping that this gigantic project proves to be completely successful.
