Solar Operated Micro Turbine by Capstone
Posted in Eco-Friendly, Energy, Green, Solar on 30 July 2008


HelioFocus Ltd., Setup at Ness Ziona, Israel in 2007 is into highly effective Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems. Recently this progressing firm has well thought-out to upgrade the existing C65 model of Capstone micro turbine to make it a solar powered turbine. Assessment is being carried out by Capstone specialists to study the prospects of alteration in existing turbine’s design. Capstone Turbine Corporation, primary company to promote workable micro turbines conventionally employs gaseous or liquid fuels for creating high ignition temperature air in their turbines. Intended for conversion of customary micro turbines, HelioFocus Parabolic Solar Concentrators would be utilized for transforming sunlight energy into grid electric power. Subsequently, the solar energy would be focused into a sunray’s activated receiving area and that would obviously supply comparable combustion heat to run the micro turbine.

This new ecofriendly technique would bless the established system with enhanced power density and higher efficiency, as a result of which the requisite assets and infrastructure would lessen. Accordingly, mingling the advantages of two finest technologies would endow us a matchless green renewable solution.
