Advanced Power Server (APS)

Intelligently dispatch multiple turbines as a

single power source

• Automatically controls up to forty-five

C65 / C200 / C1000 Microturbines (max ten C1000)
• Flexible pre-engineered package
• Maximize Microturbine array efficiency
• Reduce maintenance costs with Run Time Balance
• Interface with supervisory systems via
Serial RS-485 ModBus
• Touch screen HMI
• Up to five Groups Grid Connect

Advanced Power Server

Reduce System Upgrade Costs

• HMI-based control system with touchscreen and Programmable Logic

Controller (PLC)
• Run units in a number of preset power dispatch modes
• PLC can be customized for balance of plant control
• Avoid control system costs for development of common control schemes

Low Maintenance System

• Integrate for remote control or monitoring
• Align scheduled maintenance needs with “run time balance”
feature – Microturbine operating hours are equalized to maintain
service intervals

Reliable power when and where you need it. Clean and simple.
 Intelligent Power Dispatch Modes

• “Max Efficiency” feature ensures greatest electrical efficiency is reached through

intelligent allocation of power demand to individual Microturbines
• N+1 redundant configurations operate with same efficiency as non-redundant
systems while providing full power requirements – even if Microturbine fails
• “Spinning Reserve” feature ensures sufficient overhead exists for your
application’s expected transient needs – all while optimizing the efficiency of
your stand-alone installation
• Fully compatible with dual mode systems for standby power
• Allows thermal priority for heat recovery applications
• Change power dispatch modes locally or remotely
• Base Microturbine use on utility pricing or time of day – only run when
economically feasible
