Capstone C600 to power Chinese smart microgrid

Capstone’s distributor, Beijing Haohai Power, secured the order, which is expected to be commissioned in October 2016. The new Chinese microgrid project will be anchored by a natural gas-fueled C600S microturbine that will be installed in a CCHP application for a multi-energy complementary smart microgrid.

The microturbine will operate in parallel with wind, solar and energy storage systems onsite to provide maximum environmental benefit and optimal return on investment. This will be the first Capstone Signature Series installed and commissioned in China.
