7.6.2. Stand Alone Cyclic Loads
When operating in Stand Alone, special attention must be given to the frequency and magnitude
of cyclic loads. When the microturbine operates in SA mode, the battery provides and absorbs
instantaneous load variations. In order to extend battery life, the frequency and magnitude of the
load cycles should be kept to a minimum. As a general rule, always consult with Applications if
the load varies more than 20% of the capacity of a single microturbine every 10 minutes or less.
Below are some examples of cyclic loads.
 Jack pumps or other type of rod pumps. These types of pumps typically have extreme
load fluctuations, several times per minute.
 Large electric heaters modulated by SCRs. Most SCR-controlled heater systems cycle
on/off several times per second.
 Large air compressors starting and stopping frequently.
 Large freight or personnel elevators.
 Large electric furnaces.
 Large electric commercial and industrial kitchens.
 Large electric tankless water heaters.
 Large water pumps cycling on/off.
 Electrical pumps driving hydraulic equipment.
 Pumps for large hydro-pneumatic tanks.
Please refer to the C200R Technical Reference (Table 1) for estimating battery life based on
ambient temperature, as well as magnitude and frequency of load cycles. Always consult with
Capstone if an important percentage of the load types are cyclic loads.
