This book surveys natural gas microturbines and their importance in distributed energy systems. It discusses the design of microturbines and explains their operation. The author discusses power quality issues and offers approaches for optimizing their use. He outlines connecting microturbines to an energy source and develops the area of Distributed Energy Resources ("DER"). The book also introduces the use of evolutionary algorithm for use in optimizing microturbine use in systems. This book will be an invaluable resource for engineers, turbine operators, policy makers and those in energy business & economics.
