Turbine Advantages and Features
Fully Integrated Package
The TA100 is a fully integrated microturbine system. In the CHP model this includes the heat recovery unit (HRU), gas compressor, power conditioning and controls.
Built in Generator Protection
The built-in generator protection protects the generator, building and utility during unexpected outages, when combined with the dual mode switch*.The microturbine can be used to power critical services during a utility outage.
Remote Monitoring*
The optional remote monitoring allows the system to be integrated with the building controls system. The building manager has the control to optimize the duty cycle of the microturbine. In addition it can be used to monitor metrics, which can determine the maintenance intervals and predict failures before they happen.
Low Noise
The fully integrated sound attenuation offers more flexibility in locating the installation site.
Today, microturbines are becoming well known as energy management solutions. Microturbines are being installed in many distributed generation applications allowing end-users to better manage their energy costs. Microturbines make available the opportunity for point of consumption generation thus ensuring an uninterrupted power supply without relying on extensive infrastructure.

Microturbines, unlike gensets, are highly durable and capable of operating for extended periods of time at full power without shutdown maintenance. In combined heat and power (CHP) mode, the microturbine is capable of generating both electric and thermal energy. When operating in CHP mode the system can achieve combined fuel efficiencies over 70%.

The Calnetix microturbines operate on both gas and liquid fuels. These fuels range from natural gas to anaerobic gases or coal and landfill methane gases and diesel to glycerin (a biodiesel by product).
