Fuel lines must also be separated or shielded from electrical wiring. If you smell fuel fumes, immediately stop operation of the equipment, close the fuel isolation valve, and locate and repair the source of the leak or call a qualified professional. Exhaust Precautions The turbine assembly exhaust contains nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, which are poisonous at high concentrations. Make sure there is satisfactory fresh airflow when you work around the equipment. The exhaust airflow and pipes are hot enough to cause personal injury or fire. The exhaust airflow can reach temperatures as high as 371 °C (700 °F). Keep people, equipment, and other items away from the exhaust airflow and pipes. Always vent exhaust away from personnel. WARNING WARNING Hot surfaces and hot exhaust can be dangerous. Personal injury and/or WARNING | damage to equipment are possible. Be careful when you work on equipment. The turbine assembly exhaust is clean and oxygen rich (approximately 18% ©2), with very low levels of air pollutants. Like all fossil fuel combustion technologies, the turbine assembly produces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from the fuel combustion process. Although the turbine assembly has ultra low NOx and CO emission levels, make sure precautions are taken to prevent personnel from being exposed to these pollutants while the system is operating When installed indoors, the turbine assembly exhaust must be vented to the outside. Make sure there is a satisfactory fresh air supply. An exhaust system must be added to direct the exhaust away from the system to reduce the risk of exposure to dangerous emissions. For exhaust connection data, temperatures, pipe requirements, and other related information, contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider. When installed outdoors, the turbine assembly should be located where there is a satisfactory fresh airflow so the exhaust emissions will be dissipated. Acoustic Emissions Precautions The Capstone turbine assembly is designed to produce safe acoustic emissions. However, when working at a radius of 10 meters (or 33 feet) from an enclosed Capstone turbine assembly, sound level exposure will average approximately 65 dBA, Capstone recommends that hearing protection be worn when working on or in the immediate vicinity of operating turbine assemblies for extended time periods Other acoustic emissions regulations may apply to your specific installation location, ‘Always check to be certain that your installation complies with all codes required by the local jurisdiction.

Turbine Assembly Introduction The Capstone C1000 series turbine assemblies are adaptable, low-emission, and low maintenance power generation systems. The C1000 series combines multiple turbine- driven high-speed generators with digital power electronics to produce a single high quality electrical power output ‘The Capstone turbine assembly is a versatile power generation system suitable for a wide range of applications. Capstone’s proprietary design allows users to optimize energy costs. The Alternating Current (AC) electrical power output from the turbine assembly can be paralleled with an electric utility grid or with another generation source. The turbine assembly can also act as a Stand Alone generator for standby, backup, or off-grid power. Multiple systems can be combined and controlled as a single larger power source, called a MultiPac, The turbine assembly can efficiently use a wide range of approved hydrocarbon-based gaseous fuels and produces dry, oxygen-rich exhaust with ultra-low emissions. Utilizing both the generated electric power and the exhaust heat can provide even greater energy cost savings, 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 13 of 83 ‘Capstone reserves the right to change or mex, without nt, the design, specications, andl cortants of his document without “ncung ary abigation ether with respect © equpmen prevously Sold othe process of cnstuctonCapstone Turbine Corporation ‘Modo! C1000 User's Manual cepotone System Description The Capstone C1000 turbine assembly product is modular and built around a number of 200 KW power modules. The number of power modules used determines the model Three power modules are used in the C600, four in the C800 and five in the C1000. The C600 and C800 models can be upgraded to higher power outputs in increments of 200 KW with the addition of Capstone C200 power modules. The general term "C1000 turbine assembly includes all three models. Most attributes of the turbine assembly package other than power output are identical across all models. A clear distinction will be made in this document when differences are evident. See Figure 1 for an illustration of the C1000 series package. The individual 200 kW power modules share a common fuel header, control system and electrical output bus. The system is addressed from the single controller with a single aggregate power output rating. The turbine assembly, as a single turbine generator set, has advantages of higher efficiency over a wider operating range, higher availability and redundancy. Key Mechanical Components C1000 turbine assembly systems consist of three (C600), four (C800) or five (C1000) power modules installed in one compact 30 foot ISO-style container. The C1000 series and its constituent power modules are shown in Figure 2. Each power module used in the C1000 turbine assembly consists of the following key mechanical components: fuel system, turbine generator, power electronics and batteries (for Dual Mode systems). Figure 3 identifies components of the turbine power head.

O Air-cooled design of the entire system (turbine and controller) eliminates the need for liquid coolants, Each 200 KW turbine engine has only one moving part: no gears, belts, or turbine- driven accessories. Advanced combustion control eliminates the need for ceramics or for other costly materials or for catalytic combustion, and provides ultra-low emissions. The integral annular recuperator (heat exchanger) doubles electrical efficiency. Digital control technology facilitates advanced control and Ethemet monitoring, with diagnostic capabilities, both on-board and remotely. Turbine Engine (or Turbogenerator) Each 200 kW power module within the C1000 series package is an integrated turbine generator that includes the combustion turbine (made up of a compressor, combustor, turbine, generator, and a recuperator) and the associated power electronics, control, and fuel system components required for power generation. The rotating components are mounted on a single shaft supported by patented air bearings and spin at a maximum speed of 60,000 RPM. The pefmanent magnet generator is air cooled. To prevent inlet temperature rise, this cooling air is not ingested into the engine. The output of the generator is variable voltage, variable frequency AC. The generator is also used as a motor during start-up and cooldown cycles, Digital Controllers Each 200 kW power module in the C1000 turbine assembly has a local engine controller that works in unison with the controllers on the other modules to deliver the power output command issued by the C1000 unit controller. The power output command delivered to each power module is determined by the C1000 series controller based on total power required, number of operating units, thermal priorities, engine run times and maximizing efficiency. The power modules connect to the C1000 series controller by means of Ethemet and serial communication buses. The power module's digital power electronics control the operation of the module’s system and its subsystems. The digital power electronics change the variable frequency AC power from the generator to DC voltage, and then to constant frequency AC current. During start up, the digital power electronics operate as a variable frequency drive, and motor the generator until the power module has reached ignition and power is available from the turbine assembly. The digital power electronics again operate as a drive during cooldown to remove heat stored in the recuperator and within the engine in order to protect the system components. Air Bearings The turbine assembly uses gas foil bearings (air bearings) for high reliability, low maintenance, and safe operation. This allows fewer parts and the absence of any liquid lubrication to support the rotating group. When the turbine assembly is in operation, a gas film separates the shaft from the bearings and protects them from wear.

The C1000 series turbine assembly uses a single fuel header to power all installed power modules. A standard 4-inch 150# ANSI RF flanged gas inlet is available on either end of the package. Each turbine assembly power module includes an integral fuel delivery and control system. The standard system is designed for pressurized hydrocarbon-based gaseous fuels. Other models are available for low-pressure gaseous fuels, gaseous fuels with lower heat content, gaseous fuels with corrosive components, and biogas (landfill and digester gas) fuels. Contact your Capstone. ‘Authorized Service Provider for data on approved fuels and performance specifications, Emissions The Capstone turbine assembly is designed to produce very clean emissions. The exhaust is clean and oxygen rich (approximately 18% O;) with very low levels of air pollutants. Like all fuel combustion technology, the turbine assembly produces emissions (like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide) from the fuel combustion process. The turbine assembly has ultra low nitrogen dioxide (NOz) and carbon monoxide (CO) emission levels. Refer to the Capstone Emissions Technical Reference (410065) for details. Enclosure Each C1000 turbine assembly generator system is housed in a 30-foot long container with five compartments. Three, four or five of these compartments are populated with 200 kW. generator modules, depending on the C1000 series model purchased. The 600 kW C600 model uses three 200 KW modules, the C800 uses four, and the C1000 uses five. Every container, for all C1000 models, has the same exterior dimensions, regardless of the number of power modules installed in the container's five compartments. This leaves. two empty modules on the C600 and one empty module on the C800. These empty compartments can be field retrofitted with a 200 kW power module if higher system power outputs or redundancy is desired in the future. The C1000 container is suitable for outdoor installations and is of a rugged design engineered to protect the turbine assembly equipment from the elements. Two basic container configurations are available to meet installation and environmental needs. The standard container is suitable for most outdoor installations while the high humidity model is suitable for any combination of higher wind loads, high humidity locations, marine applications, or areas that require higher seismic ratings. ‘Stand Alone Option ‘A Dual Mode option is available for the turbine assembly. This option allows the turbine assembly to operate in Grid Connect mode while it is connected to an electric grid, and to operate in Stand Alone mode if it becomes disconnected from the grid. The Dual Mode option includes two battery packs within each power module for unassisted start and for transient electrical load management. The battery packs are lead-acid type, completely sealed and maintenance-free 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 19 of 83 CCapstne reserves the night change or madly, without notice, to desig, specications, andr contents of his document without “curing any obigaton ether wah respect to equipment reves sodorh the process of constuction.‘Model C1000 User's Manual MG Capstone Turbine Corporation $eGrom ‘When operating in Stand Alone mode, the system can power connected loads at user- selected voltage and frequency setpoints. itis an ideal power source for remote facilities such as construction sites, oil fields, offshore platforms, and other locations where the electric uty grid is not available. Distributed Generation The turbine assembly produces synchronous current when connected to an electric utility grid. It allows electric utilities to expand power generation capacity in small increments, to optimize current infrastructure, and reduce or delay the need to develop, fund, and build new transmission and distribution lines. Heat Recovery Modules Hot water Heat Recovery Modules (HRMs) are available for use with the C600, C800 and 61000 models. The HRM is an exhaust economizer with integral temperature setpoint controller and exhaust diverter. The controller provides digital readout of water temperature leaving the heat exchanger, and allows the user to set the desired outlet temperature. An electrically operated exhaust gas diverter valve is actuated by the controller to maintain outlet temperature to the selected setpoint. Power for the controller and actuator can be supplied by the auxiliary electrical output of the C1000 turbine assemblies. Operational Features Operational features of the turbine assembly are presented in the following paragraphs. Peak Shaving The turbine assembly can augment utility supply during peak load periods, thus increasing power reliability and reducing or eliminating peak demand charges. Combined Peak Shaving and Standby The turbine assembly can be used for both Grid Connect power and Stand Alone power for protected loads. With the Dual Mode System Controller (MSC) accessory, the MT can be programmed to switch automatically upon loss/restoration of electric utility grid power. The turbine assembly, with its low emissions, low maintenance requirements, and high reliabilty is well suited for combination peak-shaving and standby power applications. MultiPac Power Multiple Capstone turbine assemblies can be connected through the Advanced Power Server (APS) to operate as a single power generation source. A total of 30 Capstone turbine assemblies can be controlled by an APS for advanced control and dispatch of up to 14 Megawatts of power generation. The count of 30 can include any combination of C85, C200, or C1000 series turbine assemblies, with the exception that the MultiPac cannot have more than 10 C1000 series units. As an example, a MultiPac with 10 C1000 series turbine assemblies can have up to 20 C85 and/or C200 turbine assemblies in any combination. Ten C1000 turbine assemblies can generate 10 Megawatts of power. Combined with 20 individual C200 turbine assemblies, the power generating capacity of this MultiPac would be the maximum of 14 Megawatts.

Complex control logic can be implemented to maximize the value of your turbine installation through integration of a utility power meter, building management system or programming time of day power set-points to offset variable electricity rates. More information is available in the Capstone Advanced Power Server User's Manual (400011). All MultiPac installations of the C1000 turbine assembly product require the use of the Advanced Power Server. Resource Recovery Capstone turbine assembly models are available that use methane-based oilfield flare casing gas or low-energy landfilidigester gas as fuel sources. C1000 models are available that can accept Sour Gas with up to 5000 ppmV Hydrogen Sulfide (H,S) content. This application helps reduce pollution and provides economical power for on-site use as a by- product. Thermal Heat Recovery The oxygen-rich exhaust from the turbine assembly can also be used for direct heat or as an air pre-heater for downstream burners. The optional C800, C800 and C1000 HRMs allow commercial businesses to offset or replace local thermal loads such as domestic hot water, space heating, pool heating, and industrial hot water. in addition, the oxygen-rich exhaust together with ultra-low emissions makes the direct exhaust applicable for some food processing and greenhouse uses, such as heating, cooling (by absorption), dehumidifying, baking, or drying OEM Applications The turbine assembly core technology can be integrated into a wide variety of products and systems. Uninterruptible power supplies, all-in-one combined heat and power systems, and welding machines are just a few examples of original equipment manufacturer applications.

The C1000 series controller is a supervisory control system that can address the turbine modules in the C1000 series package as a single unit with a single power output rating. The controller distributes the power demand automatically to the power modules so that the C1000 series responds as a single turbine generator to variations in load conditions. At the same time, the C1000 series controller can also be used to monitor the performance of individual turbine modules. The following paragraphs describe how to use the C1000 series controller to control and monitor the C1000 series turbine assembly. See Figure 1 for the location of the C1000 series controller on the C1000 package. ©1000 Ss s Controller Front Panel Figure 4 illustrates the C1000 series controller front panel that provides the user interface for the C1000 series turbine assembly. The control and monitoring functions on the panel consist of a battery wake pushbutton and a computer touch screen.

The identification method involves the use of a virtual equipment designator TX, where "X" is a sequential number from 1 through 6. Each turbine occupies a physical bay in the enclosure, and the bays are identified in sequential order from Bay A to Bay E. See Figure 11. Looking from the front of the C1000 enclosure, the turbines and bays are numbered from left to right. For electronic control purposes, the C1000 series controller functions as the master turbine and has the equipment designator T1. This is why the first turbine module, located in Bay A, is identified as T2. ‘The C1000 series turbine assembly consists of the C600, C800, and C1000. Only the C1000 has a turbine module in every bay. The C600, with three modules, has two empty bays, and the C800, with four modules, has one empty bay. The equipment designator for each turbine module remains the same per bay, regardless of which bays are empty, as shown below.

For example, if turbine module T2 is selected, values related to that individual turbine module are displayed (C200) 13 (C200) Turbi otiules a (C200) Wy (C200) | froo0 Figure 12. System, Group and Module Selection Group and Turbine Relationshi ‘A group is a virtual entity that is a logical grouping of turbine modules. A system, such as C1000, has a fixed number of physical turbine modules. One or more of these physical modules can be logically combined to form a group containing the specified number of modules. Each group can then be controlled as a virtual power module having its own power capacity. In the monitoring/contro! hierarchy, the system is the parent of the groups, and a group is the parent of the turbine modules. The system level is identified as C1000, C800, or C600, depending on model, and the system can contain up to six groups, G1 through G6. G1 is the only group possible in Stand Alone mode, and therefore it must contain all of the physical modules. In Grid Connect mode, five different groups are possible, which are G2. through G6. Each Grid Connect group can be configured to have zero to five physical modules. In the C1000 series turbine assembly, there are two default groups, G1 and G2. Group G2, for Grid Connect operating mode, contains all turbine modules by default All of the turbine modules in the C1000 series package are in group G1 if configured for Stand Alone, in group G2 if configured for Grid Connect, or in both groups if configured for Dual Mode operation. If the turbine assembly is configured for Stand Alone only (no grid connection) group G2 will not be visible. If the turbine assembly is configured for Grid Connect only (no Stand Alone capability) group G1 will not be visible. ‘To modify the default group configurations, it is necessary to use CRMS-APS, Refer to the CRMS-APS Technical Reference (410073) for information about defining turbine groups.

Operating Mode and Touch Screen Options The turbine assembly operating mode is displayed in the Operating Mode field (see Figure 10 for location). When the operating mode is indicating Grid Connect, the available groups will be G2 through G6 and group G1 will not show. When the C1000 operating mode is indicating Stand Alone, the only available group will be G1 and groups G2 through G6 will not show. In addition, other options are active or inactive, depending on the operating mode. For example, the Battery Start icon and Power Enable are active only in Stand Alone mode. Refer to Turbine Assembly Operating Modes on page 39 for more information. Power Monitoring ‘The C1000 series controller lets the user monitor the power output, in kilowatts, of the C1000 system, groups, and individual turbine modules. It also enables setting the power demand, as well as spinning reserve. Refer to following paragraphs for a description of the, power monitoring and control functi Power Output Monitor Figure 13 gives examples of how the power output monitor (see Figure 10 for location) displays the power output of the C1000 series turbine assembly. The power output monitor consists of an auto-scaled circular graph that provides a visual representation of the power output ¥ Mid Range Too — Maximum Maximum pa Group Turbine Figure 13. Power Output Monitor The graph is scaled from zero to the maximum output capability of the selected system, group, or turbine module. It includes display fields for the midrange and maximum values for the scale. At the bottom of the graph is a display field that shows the actual output power in Kilowatts, The midrange and maximum values change depending on what output level is selected. As shown in Figure 13, the midrange for the group G2 is 500 kW, and the maximum is 1000 kW. The midrange for an individual turbine module is 100 KW, and the maximum is 200 KW. 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 31 of 83 Capstone reserves te right fo change or mol, wthout net, the dese, specications, adr contents of his document wahout ‘ncuning any obligation other weh respect fo equipment previously sd or fhe process of const,Capstone Turbine Corporation ‘Mode! C1000 User's Manual ‘Capstone Power Specifications The following paragraphs describe how to set the various power output options for the C1000 series turbine assembly. Refer to the C1000 Technical Reference (410072) for details about operating modes and power specifications, Power Demand (Grid Connect) The Power Demand field on the touch screen (see Figure 10 for location) lets the user set the power demand in kilowatts while in Grid Connect mode. This setting is active until the turbine assembly is shut down. Each time the turbine assembly starts up, any previous Power Demand setting is no longer available and the kW value is set to zero. The C1000 series controller addresses each logical group in the C1000 series package as a single unit with a single power output. Therefore, the C1000 series controller accepts a power demand input for and Grid Connect group and distributes the power demand among all the modules in the group, and it is not used to set the power demand for an individual turbine module. See Figure 14. To set the power demand, the turbine assembly must be operating in Grid Connect mode and a Grid Connect group selected. Touch the SET button under Power Demand on the screen. This opens the data entry keypad as shown in Figure 8. Use the touch screen buttons on the keypad to enter the power demand value in kilowatts. Touch the OK button to save the value and close the keypad. Touch to Enter Power Demand Touch to Enter Spinning Reserve Figure 14. Power Demand and Spinning Reserve Spinning Reserve The Spinning Reserve field on the touch screen (see Figure 10 for location) lets the user set the spinning reserve in Grid Connect or Stand Alone mode. To set the spinning reserve, the power dispatch mode must be set to Maximum Efficiency, which is the default for the C1000 series turbine assembly. Changing the power dispatch mode must be done using CRMS-APS. Refer to the CRMS-APS Technical Reference (410073) for details.

Spinning Reserve is used to ensure stable turbine assembly operation even when the efficiency optimized C1000 series package is challenged with fast power demand changes. This value acts as an imaginary power demand and should be set to the approximate value of the expected maximum power demand change. ‘When the spinning reserve value is added to the actual power demand, the result is used to determine the number of operating turbine modules required. The actual power demand then divided by the number of operating turbine modules in order to set the individual power demands for each turbine module. This ensures that a demand change equal to the. spinning reserve setting can be done without starting an additional turbine module, for a faster power response and more stable operation. The faster response to changes in power demand comes at a small cost to overall system efficiency. Spinning Reserve can result in additional power modules being used to share the power demand. Refer to the C1000 Technical Reference (410072) for details. See Figure 14. To set the spinning reserve, touch the SET button under Spinning Reserve on the screen. This opens the data entry keypad as shown in Figure 8. Use the touch screen buttons on the keypad to enter the power demand value in kilowatts. Touch the OK button to save the value and close the keypad. Utility Power Meter Figure 15 shows the user interface on the C1000 series controller for an external utility power meter. An external power meter is used for electrical load following. The external power meter supplies data on the power flow at a point between the turbine assembly and the grid power supply.

The following paragraphs describe the status and fault reporting objects on the C1000 series controller screen, Operating Mode The current operating mode of the C1000 series turbine assembly is displayed in the Operating Mode field (see Figure 10 for location). During normal operation, the field will indicate Stand Alone or Grid Connect. At initial start up, before enabling the system and starting the turbines, the field displays Transition/invalid. This is also displayed at certain times during transitions between Grid Connect and Stand Alone modes. Refer to Operating the Turbine Assembly on page 39 for more information. Faults ‘The C1000 series controller screen uses the Fault State field and Fault State indicator on the touch screen (see Figure 10 for location) to report any detected faults. Any fault data displayed by these screen objects is the fault data reported from the selected turbine module, The Fault State indicator displays the color red, yellow, or green based on System Severity Level (SSL) as follows: * Red: Indicates a fault incident under which the system shuts down to prevent possible damage to the turbine assembly or unsafe operating conditions. * Yellow: Indicates a warning incident that is outside normal operating parameters, but which does not require a system shut down, * Green: No fault detected.

Refer to Turbine Assembly Operating Modes below for operating requirements related to the operating mode of the turbine assembly. Refer to Start Up on page 43 for instructions to start the turbine assembly, Turbine Assembly Operating Modes The following paragraphs describe the different operating modes of the Capstone turbine assembly and how to issue the applicable commands for each mode. Grid Connect Operation The turbine assembly in Grid Connect operation allows electric utilities to expand generating capacity in small increments. This optimizes current infrastructure and reduces the need to upgrade specific site capacity and lowers overall costs. Operation of the Capstone turbine assembly in parallel with an electric utility grid consists only of ‘commanding the system on or off, and commanding an output power level. In most applications, these commands are mostly or entirely automated, depending on the dispatch mode. ‘At manufacture, the C1000 series turbine assembly is configured for Auto Restart dispatch mode. If grid power is removed for any reason, the Auto Restart mode enables the turbine assembly to automatically command the system ON when grid power is restored. The various dispatch modes are programmable using CRMS-APS, and must be done by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider Grid Connect Enable To enable Grid Connect mode, the turbine assembly must be correctly connected to a suitable live electric utllty grid and the Grid Connect interlock on each turbine module must be closed. The Grid Connect interlock consists of a pair of dry circuit contact terminals on the C1000 series controller. These electrical connections should only be done by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider. Starting a Grid Connect System The turbine assembly in Grid Connect mode must be commanded to start. In the Auto Restart mode, the start command is stored by the system even through a loss of grid power. If the turbine assembly has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to START or ON to start the system. To start the turbine assembly in Grid Connect mode, first select the Grid Connect group. Then enable the C1000 series controller, and send a start command from the touch screen andior by a remote start switch, if used. The C1000 series turbine assembly can be configured to be started from the touch screen alone, by remote start alone, or by touch screen and remote start combined If the turbine assembly has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, set the switch to START or ON to start the system. To start the system in Grid Connect mode from the C1000 series controller touch screen, refer to Start Up on page 43. 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 39 of 83 Capstone reserves the right to change or madly, witout nets, the deson, specications, andbr cortnts this document without “nouing any obigatenethor wh respect fo equipment prevousY sclsar tho process ofconsition,Capstone Turbine Corporation ©. ‘Model C1000 User's Manual ‘Capstone Stopping a Grid Connect System The turbine assembly can be stopped at any time. In Grid Connect operation, a stop or off, command will override any dispatch mode settings, and is stored by the system. The shutdown process includes a cool down period, which can last up to 10 minutes, depending on the operating temperature at shutdown. During the cool down cycle, the power output is reduced and fuel supply is off but the turbine continues to rotate to dissipate excess heat. A restart can be attempted at any time during a cool down period, To stop the turbine assembly in Grid Connect mode, first select the Grid Connect group and send a stop command from the touch screen and/or a remote stop switch, if used. Alternately, disable the system to stop the turbine modules in the group. If the turbine assembly has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to STOP or OFF to stop the system. To stop the group fram the C1000 series controller touch screen, touch the red STOP icon as described in Control Functions on page 36. Touching the red SYSTEM DISABLE icon will also send a stop command to the group. Grid Connect Power Demand In Grid Connect operation, the turbine assembly must be commanded to a specific output power level. Each dispatch mode includes a power level setting. Some dispatch modes include automatic output power level changes. Use the C1000 series controller touch screen to set the power level settings as described in Power Specifications on page 32 ‘Stand Alone Operation Stand Alone operation provides power to remote facilities such as construction sites, oilrigs, or other locations where the electric utility grid is not available. If the C1000 series turbine assembly is equipped with the Stand Alone option, operation consists of commanding the system on or off, and then enabling or disabling the power output. These commands can be automated. Stand Alone Mode Enable ‘A.C1000 series turbine assembly designed for or Dual Mode operation is pre-configured for Stand Alone mode. To enable Stand Alone mode, the Stand Alone interlock on each turbine module must be closed. The Stand Alone interlock consists of a pair of contact terminals on the C1000 series controller. These electrical connections should only be done by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider. Stand Alone Batteries Each turbine module in a Stand Alone turbine assembly includes two large battery packs that store energy for startup when disconnected from the electric utility grid. They also provide an electrical buffer for sudden increases or decreases in load during Stand Alone operation. Management of the batteries and their state of charge Is automatic within the turbine assembly. An awareness of these battery management functions will promote an understanding of why the system may appear to behave autonomously. For example, the turbine assembly will always attempt to fully recharge the battery after a user commanded shut down and before the turbine assembly enters the cool down state.

CAUTION If the Stand Alone system is in sleep mode, touch the BATTERY START icon on the C1000 series controller touch screen to wake it up, as described in Control Functions on page 36. Alternately, momentarily closing the battery start contacts in the turbine module will wake up the system. This must be a momentary closure of 0.1 to 2.0 seconds only, as. permanent closure of these contacts will completely discharge the battery. This electrical connection should only be made by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider. Starting a Stand Alone System The turbine assembly in Stand Alone operation must be commanded to start. In Auto Restart mode, the start command is stored by the system even through a loss of system power. To enable Stand Alone mode, the Stand Alone battery isolation switches must be set to ON and the Stand Alone interlocks in the turbine modules closed. These electrical connections should only be made by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider. If the Stand Alone interiock is open, the turbine module will post an SA Interlock fault. If no battery is, detected, an internal No Battery fault will be reported To start the turbine assembly in Stand Alone mode, first select the Stand Alone group.

To stop the turbine assembly in Stand Alone mode, first select the Stand Alone group and send a stop command from the touch screen andior a remote stop switch, if used. Alternately, disable the system to stop the turbine modules in the group. If the turbine assembly has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to STOP or OFF to stop the system. To stop the group from the C1000 series controller touch screen, touch the red STOP icon as described in Control Functions on page 36. Touching the red SYSTEM DISABLE icon will also send a stop command to the group. A system stop or off command first disables power output. The system then charges the battery, which can take up to 20 minutes. Finally, the turbine shutdown process includes a cool down period, which can last up to 10 minutes. Start Up The sequence required to start up the C1000 series turbine assembly using the C1000 series controller is described in the following paragraphs. 1. Initialization On a turbine assembly configured for dual mode operation, the battery wake pushbutton ‘on the C1000 series controller must be pressed to initialize the system. The battery wake pushbutton sends a command to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to wake the controller. Once the C1000 series controller is up, touch the Battery Wake touch button on the screen to wake the turbines. To start a dual mode system before the turbines are generating power requires using the backup battery power of the UPS. In a system configured for Grid Connect only operation, this initialization process is not necessary, because controller power is supplied through the grid connection. The UPS on the controller and the batteries in the turbine will go to sleep if not operated by a timer value adjustable through CRMS. 2. Group Selection In order to start the turbine assembly, the user must select a group using the drop-down list shown in Figure 12. The group defines the operating mode of the turbine assembly. To start the turbine assembly in Stand Alone mode, select group G1. To start the turbine assembly in Grid Connect mode, select group G2. The turbine assembly cannot be started if the C1000 system or an individual turbine module is selected, Stand Alone group G1 is not available if the C1000 series turbine NOTE assembly is not equipped for dual mode operation. 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 43 of 83 Capstone reserves he right to change or medi, without rete, the desin, specications, andi caren ofthis document vthout “noting ary obigaton eer wath respect o aquipment preveusy sad or the process of consbucton.C Capstone Turbine Corporation ‘Model C1000 User's Manual ‘Capstone 3.

Routine Operation ‘When the start command has. been issued, the generator on each turbine module operates as a motor to bring the turbine up to ignition speed, at which point fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber and ignited, When the Turbine Exit Temperature (TET) sensors detect an increase in temperature, the system is declared lit, and the turbine accelerates. Once the turbine enters the load state, it accelerates to the set load. The start-up process from a cold start to full load requires approximately six minutes. The startup process can take longer in Stand Alone mode depending on the battery state of charge. Most turbine assembly applications require no regular interaction with an operator during normal operation. Built-in dispatch features include peak shaving with local or remote control, external switch control, programmable scheduling, automatic restart, and automatic loading, Communications The user can communicate with the turbine assembly as follows: Via parameter selection on the C1000 series controller touch screen. 2. Via CRMS or CRMS-APS through an Ethernet port connection in the C1000 series controller. (Refer to C1000 Turbine Assembly PC Interface on page 47.) 3. Via serial Modbus access to the C1000 series controller APC can be connected directly to an Ethernet port on the C1000 series controller, or remotely via a TCP/IP Internet connection. Communication is then possible by use of the optional Capstone Remote Monitoring Software (CRMS) on the PC, or other program that uses Capstone’s open communication protocol. The Capstone Service Network (CSN) is another optional remote communication system using an internet connection through a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN), which can also be used to monitor the turbine assembly in real time. With a ModBus Translator connected to the controller, a customer can also use a RS-485 ModBus network to communicate with the turbine assembly. The set-up, control, and basic performance of the turbine assembly can be monitored and adjusted through the C1000 series controller. Primary user communications include: * Start and stop functions + Adjustment of power output * Storage and display of operation history + The configuration of operational parameters + Battery management functions 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 45 of 83 Capstone reserves the right to change or edly, thou note, the design, specications, ac cortens of this document wnout incuing any obligion ether wah respect fo aqupmentprevcusly sot or the process of constucton.Capstone Turbine Comoration MG ‘Model C1000 User's Manual Sen Routine Operation Data The C1000 series controller touch screen, or an Ethernet-connected computer, can be used to monitor all operational parameters during system operation. Only some of the routine operation and performance data items available for monitoring are listed below: + Power Output (in kilowatts, or KW) + Turbine Speed (in revolutions per minute, or RPM) Turbine Exit Temperature (in °C or °F) + Phase Voltages (in Volts) and Currents (in Amperes) Control Device Authority and Priority ‘A PG connected to the C1000 series controller can function as a control device for the turbine assembly. A PC can view system data at any time, but only one device can control turbine assembly operation (that is, providing start/stop command or changes to power demand) ‘The C1000 series controller touch screen has default control authority to issue operational ‘commands to the turbine assembly. An externally connected PC will take control when a password is entered either from CRMS or other software using the Capstone open ‘communication protocol. Refer CRMS-APS Technical Reference (410073) for access and control of the Capstone turbine via a local or remote PC. ‘Shutdown ‘When the turbine assembly is issued a Stop command, power output is reduced, followed by a period that the turbine assembly is motored at nominal speed to remove heat stored in the recuperator and turbine engine in order to protect the system components. The overall cooldown period is dependent on the turbine exhaust temperature. A restart may be attempted at any time, and a start will occur after completion of the initial cooldown period, If the Stand Alone batteries require a recharge (after a stop command is issued), the turbine assembly will continue to operate with fuel in order to recharge the batteries. The turbine assembly will enter the cool down period after the batteries have reached a 90 to ‘95% state of charge. The batteries can require as long as 20 minutes to recharge after a stop command has been issued before entering cooldown Page 46 of 83 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Capstone reserves the ght to change or mad, vthout note, the desi, spectiatons, andor contents ots document winout ‘incur any obigabon ether wth respect fo equipment previously sol orn the process of consruction,- c “apstone Turbine Corporation Sehion ‘Model C1000 User's Manual yn Emergency Stop (E-Stop) ‘The C1000 series controller contains input to which the user can connect an Emergency Stop (E-Stop) device. The E-Stop function enables the safe and immediate shut down of the turbine assembly in the event of an emergency. Activation of the E-Stop immediately shuts off fuel and electrical output. This will cause the compressor bypass valve to open, vent the compressed air out of the turbine assembly, and the turbine will coast to a stop, After an emergency stop, the power to the turbine assembly must be turned off for 30, seconds before a restart can be attempted. Emergency stops should NEVER be used for routine shutdowns. Emergency stops increase stress on the system components and will result in reduced service life of the turbine assembly. CAUTION | Repeated use of the optional Emergency Stop function will result in damage to the turbine assembly. Use only in emergency situations, Also, after an emergency stop, you may want to close the external fuel isolation valve to shut off any additional fuel flow into the turbine assembly. The external fuel isolation valve must be returned to the open position before a restart of the turbine assembly is attempted. Restart The turbine assembly can normally be restarted after a shutdown, while the batteries recharge, or during the cool down period before the speed of the turbine assembly reaches zero. This allows for faster power output and helps to eliminate wear on the bearings. C1000 Turbine Assembly PC Interface The following paragraphs describe the physical interface and software needed for remote monitoring and control of the C1000 series turbine assembly through a PC. C1000 Series Controller User Ethemet Port The user Ethernet port for remote turbine assembly operation is located on the enclosure Panel of the C1000 series controller. A RJ45 connector will be required to connect to the adapter fixed on the panel next to the cable entries at the bottom left. This prevents undue exposure of the controller components to the elements. Software that enables communication with the turbine assembly is available for Windows ‘98/2000/NT/XP or later computer. However, the communication software is not compatible with Windows Vista at this time. 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Page 47 of 83 Capstone reserves the ight change or madly, wahout noc, the deson specications, andr contens of is document witout “uring ary oblgaton either ith respect o equipment previcusy sad or inthe process of consbucton.Capstone Turbine Corporation Model C1000 User's Manual ‘Capstone (61000 Sov bteroTutine Contotor User Ethernet Port Figure 20. User Ethernet Port Location In C1000 Series Controller (Typical) Capstone Remote Monitoring Software Capstone Remote Monitoring Software (CRMS) is the optional Capstone proprietary software that can operate and control the turbine assembly from the user Ethernet port. This allows communication interface devices (a laptop plugged in with an Ethernet cable or a remote computer via an Ethernet modem or VPN) to communicate with the C1000 series turbine assembly.

Dual Mode Operation If the turbine assembly is equipped with the Stand Alone option and the optional Dual Mode System Controller (DMSC) accessory is installed, a setting in the turbine assembly system software enables the system to reconfigure itself to either Grid Connect or Stand ‘Alone operation mode. This is called Dual Mode. Except for conditions of grid oss/recovery, turbine assembly operation in Dual Mode is identical to the operation in Grid Connect mode or Stand Alone mode, depending on the state of the utility grid. Operation of the Dual Mode feature consists of switching the turbine assembly (and protected loads) from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation, or vice versa, Page 48 of 63 400024 Rev B (July 2011) ‘Capstove reserves te righto change or modi, without nat, the des, specications, andor contents ofthis document witout “noth any obigaton ether with respect © equbmentprevousy so or te process canstion,MG ca apstone Turbine Carpration SCG tone Roca C1000 User anaa! Capstone DMSC The Capstone DMSC is an optional accessory that enables the turbine assembly to automatically transition from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation when a Utility power outage occurs. During a utility power outage, the turbine assembly normally operates in Stand Alone mode to provide power to Protected Loads. The DMSC accessory provides the logic for an electrically operated circuit protection device to isolate the Protected Loads during Stand Alone operation. When utility power is restored, the DMSC automatically returns the turbine assembly and the protected loads to Grid Connect operation. The DMSC accessory also allows the turbine assembly to be used as an automatically dispatched standby generator for protected loads. The DMSC can: ‘© Sense the loss of electric utility grid voltage, and then send a trip signal to a circuit protection device to disconnect the turbine assembly and its connected (protected) loads from the electric utility grid. * Start the system to supply Stand Alone power. + Sense the return of electric utility grid voltage, and then shut down the turbine assembly. + Issue a close command to the circuit protection device to reconnect the turbine assembly and its protected loads to the electric utility grid «Start the system to supply electric utility grid parallel power. The turbine assembly can be configured to start automatically and load itself in either mode. Configuring Dual Mode The turbine assembly system settings must be established for both Grid Connect parameters and Stand Alone parameters, since the system will be operating in both modes at different times. Contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider for data on establishment of these parameters. ‘Switching Times for Dual Mode The C1000 series turbine assembly includes the capability for Fast Transfer between Grid Connect and Stand Alone modes. During a transition from Grid Connect and Stand Alone, the protected load will experience less than 10 seconds of power loss. When transferring back from Stand Alone to utility grid power, the protected loads will experience even less duration of power loss, and the turbines) will remain in Hot Standby until the utility grid has remained stable for at least 5 minutes (adjustable from 5 to 30 minutes).

C1000 User's Manual ‘Capstone MultiPac Operation MultiPac operation with the C1000 series turbine assembly requires use of the Capstone ‘Advance Power Server (APS). The APS allows up to 30 turbine assemblies to be operated as a single power generation source. This includes up to 10 C1000 series units (any combination of C600, C800 and C1000) plus the number of C65 and C200 units that comprise the remainder of the maximum 30 turbine assemblies. All of the logical groupings and dispatch modes for the MultiPac are available from the APS. Refer to the Capstone Advanced Power Server Technical Reference (480023) for details. This MultiPac capability features a single control point (the APS) and the combined synchronous output of the units in the MultiPac. Individual turbine assemblies share power, current, and load on both a dynamic and steady state basis. Observation and control of each turbine assembly in a MultiPac can be accomplished by the connection of ‘a communications interface device through the APS. Contact your Capstone Authorized Service Provider for additional information on establishment of a MultiPac system. MultiPac Grid Connect Operation In Grid Connect operation, each turbine assembly independently synchronizes to the grid. MultiPac functionality provides a single interface point for Start, Stop, and Power Demand control. Signals from a power meter, external SCADA systems, etc., can be interfaced with the APS. The APS will communicate this data to individual C1000 series turbine assemblies. MultiPac Stand Alone Operation In Stand Alone operation, MultiPac functionality provides the capability to synchronize the voltage source outputs of the individual turbine assemblies such that they share power and current on both a dynamic and steady state basis. One stand-alone turbine serves as an inverter master, passing voltage and frequency signals to all other turbines for synchronization. The inverter master broadcasts synchronization data to the other units over a dedicated Capstone-proprietary digital communications bus. The APS manages the selection of the inverter master. MultiPac Redundancy In MultiPac operation, if an individual turbine assembly fails (shuts down due to a fault) the remaining units will continue to operate. If the APS fails and communication is not possible, the turbine assemblies will continue to operate according to the last command they received from the APS. This continues until the APS reboots, at which point the turbine assemblies will stop and restart. MultiPac Enable/Disable Individual turbine assemblies must be disabled from a MultiPac system for service and maintenance. When service or maintenance is completed, the individual turbine assemblies must be added back into the MultiPac system (.e., re-enabled). A C1000 series turbine assembly can be MultiPac disabled or MultiPac enabled using the C1000 series controller touch screen, as described in Control Functions on page 36 Page 50 of 63 400024 Rev B (July 2011) Capstone reserves the ight change or modi, wehout netic, the des, speciation, andor content of hs document without Tncuring any cbgaton eter vith respect fo equipment prevousy soda inthe process of cansbucton,Se Capstone Turbine Corporation ‘Capstone ‘Model C1000 User's Manual In a MultiPac, the Power Demand setting of the APS is used as the Power Demand setting for the entire MultiPac. In this case, each turbine assembly in the MultiPac is commanded to supply an equal fraction of the total power output as specified by the Power Demand setting of the APS, if the APS is configured for load balancing mode. For example, if the Power Demand setting of the APS in a MultiPac of six C1000 turbine assemblies is 3600 kW, the power demand for each turbine assembly would be 600 KW, or 1/6” of the Power Demand setting In a MultiPac, the Power Demand setting for the MultiPac is changeable and viewable from the APS only. A turbine assembly operating as a MultiPac-enabled slave will only display its fractional portion of the total power demand. Also, setting the Power Demand of a MultiPac-enabled slave turbine assembly during MultiPac operation will have no effect. Spinning Reserve setting is unique for the MultiPac and to the individual C1000 family turbine. Remote Monitoring Software CRMS APS User Edition Introduction CRMS APS User Edition software is used to remotely monitor a C1000 series controller using a Personal Computer (PC). This software also includes all the functionality of the existing Capstone Remote Monitoring Software (CRMS) product that allows direct communication with Capstone turbine assembly products. For a description of the software functionality that is not specific to the controller application, refer to the CRMS Technical Reference User Edition (410013). CRMS-APS Software Installation CRMS-APS must be installed on a PC that is properly connected to a C1000 series controller. Make sure that the PC meets the minimum requirements for CRMS software as specified in the CRMS Technical Reference User Edition (410013). If the C1000 series controller is locally networked, connect the PC on the same LAN. If the C1000 series controller is not locally networked, you must perform extra steps to directly connect the PC to the controller as follows: 1. Disconnect any network cables connected to the PC. 2. Find the IP address label on the inside of the C1000 series controller front panel, and make note of the IP address for the panel PC and PLC in the C1000 series controller. 3.
