DON'T MISS THE LATEST BIG DEVELOPMENT IN THE ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY
They are compact, clean, and reliable, and they put the power to produce electricity into the hands of the consumer. Potential buyers
of microturbines are just becoming aware of these compact power plants, and the market is poised for significant growth. With
reducing prices and increasing efficiency at the head of the list of action items, developers are hard at work improving microturbine
technology.
This is a time when developments within microturbine technology are moving fast as lightening. Technical Insights brings you a
timely and invaluable analysis of technical work ongoing at microturbine developers. Microturbines: The Technology and
Applications Behind an Emerging Source of Electric Power takes you inside the research and development laboratories, and
uncovers the telling details behind the progress of microturbine companies and organizations.
MICROTURBINES: WHY THE ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY IS PAYING ATTENTION
The technology of microturbines evolved from hybrid vehicle and aerospace technologies. These devices might be considered micro
versions of combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT), the workhorses of bulk electrical-power generation. CCGTs are jet-engine-like gas
turbines that convert fossil fuel into megawatts of power for grid distribution. Microturbines have the advantage of fuel flexibility,
and their use for on-site generation means seven percent efficiency is not lost to transmission and distribution, as it is for grid power.
We may at first see microturbines within hybrid designs that integrate the pint-sized power plants with fuel cells or energy storage
systems for distributed power generation. More long term, look for the microturbine to become a power technology with its own
status.
