Microturbine generators are a new source of clean electrical energy that are small, quickly installed, and easy to maintain. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), through it's microturbine generator program, has sponsored deployment of Capstone microturbine generators (MTGs) in the four county area which it serves. The Advanced Power and Energy Program (APEP) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is contracted to collect and archive the internal system data from most of the MTGs installed through this project. A total of 207 MTGs are to be installed in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. Installations have been completed and MTGs are on line at numerous sites. All installations are expected to be complete in the near future.
The information and data from this program provide:
1) examples of MTG utilization in a variety of settings;
2) better understanding of the long-term operational characteristics;
3) documentation of the contribution to the energy grid.
The collected data are processed and analyzed at the Advanced Power & Energy Program (APEP) facility at the University of California, Irvine.
Information available for each Site includes:
- Site Number
