The technology…how it operates…and a history of the development of the technology is all here in this introductory handbook to cutting-edge microturbine applications. The author directs a microturbine generator testing and assessment program for a major utility, working closely with governmental agencies, industry organizations, and universities.
• Gain an understanding of the technology, how it works, and how it can be applied
• Know who are the industry leaders
• Understand the requirements for planning an installation, siting the machine and deal with special considerations such as interconnecting with a utility grid
