Capstone to Upgrade Top Northern California Brewery With Two C1000 Microturbines
March 02 2015 - 8:30AM
Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com)
(Nasdaq:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of
microturbine energy systems, announced today that it received an
order for two C1000 microturbines to upgrade a top Northern
California brewery.
Regatta Solutions, Capstone's distributor in California, secured
the order, which is expected to be commissioned later this
year.
Two Capstone C1000 microturbines will replace the aging natural
gas fuel cells currently powering the California brewery. Capstone
microturbines can seamlessly meet changing facility demands and are
flexible enough to allow for irregular daily load profiles, which
effectively maximizes efficiency and reduces operating costs.
"The brewery, like many of our clients, vetted multiple
technologies, including traditional reciprocating engines. However,
the Capstone solution presented the best option, offering a clean
emission technology to act as the base load for a smart grid
installation," said Steven Acevedo, President and CEO at Regatta
Solutions.
The two Megawatt combined heat and power (CHP) system will be
integrated with the existing solar PV system in a microgrid
application to provide reliable on-site power and the ability to
export any excess power generated. In addition, thermal energy from
the microturbine exhaust will be captured through cogeneration and
transferred to heat exchangers to provide space heating and hot
water.
With Capstone's patented emission technology, operations at the
brewery will meet the state of California's stringent emissions
standards without the need for expensive and unreliable exhaust
after treatment equipment. The units will be commissioned in a CHP
heat recovery configuration so the plant's total system efficiency
will exceed 80 percent.
"Businesses are continuously looking for ways to enhance their
core processes and become more energy efficient, reduce costs and
be good stewards of the environment," said Jim Crouse, Executive
Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Capstone Turbine.
"Capstone microturbines are the ideal solution, helping businesses
achieve energy independence by providing clean, reliable power at a
lower cost than the utility," added Crouse.
