Microturbines are excellent power generators for use in combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Their low maintenance and clean exhaust make them a reliable choice for base load CHP applications. Integrating hot water heat recovery into the microturbine package has proven cost effective, and a growing number of commercial installations are saving money using this technology. Not only do microturbines provide this costsaving performance day in and day out, but their value is further increased when the cost for traditional backup generation is eliminated. The examples sited in this paper are from the author’s company, Capstone Turbine, but are intended to reflect the potential application of similar microturbine products.
