Besides working with diesel oil and natural gas, this micro‐turbine can burn naphtha, methane, propane, gasoline, and synthetic gas. Its noise level is estimated at 65 dB. A commercial prototype of 75 kW was designed for a 30% efficiency and its installed cost is estimated from $ 22,500 to 30,000 (Biasi, 1998).
Gas turbine industry is ambitious to manufacture gas turbines that can work on 100% hydrogen fuel by 2030, thereby ensuring a CO 2 neutral gas fired power generation [121]. To the date, MGT available in the market are capable of separate burning of natural gas (NG), biogas, and syngas.
The most efficient small gas turbines in the world. With efficiencies above the competition, we are transforming distributed energy and heat generation. Energy efficient. The Aurelia® A400 provides 400 kWe with an electrical efficiency greater than 40%. Hydrogen as a fuel.
Therefore, micro gas turbines can operate at speeds above 100,000 rpm whereas a larger gas turbine will typically operate in the range of 3000 to 20,000 rpm . Moreover, with compensating generators connected to MGTs, the rotational speed can vary according to power demand, unlike most large-scale turbines that remain at a constant
Microturbines are small combustion turbines approximately the size of a refrigerator with outputs of 30kW to 1000kW for a single unit. They evolved from automotive and truck turbochargers, auxiliary power units (APUs) for airplanes, and small jet engines. Most microturbines are comprised of a compressor, combustor, turbine, alternator
Micro (gas) turbines are small, high-speed, gas combustion turbines with a power rating of 25–500 kW ( Chambers and Potter, 2002 ). Micro turbines are considered easy to handle and are relatively low noise and vibration free. They can use various fuels, including natural gas, biogas, associated gas, biodiesel and kerosene.
Gas turbine technology evolved since the development of first 370 kW gas turbine in 1920 s [1], [2], leading to emergence of Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs).MGTs are small-scale gas turbine engines offering low emissions and efficient electricity generation, suited for various applications [3], [4], [5].MGTs function conjunction with renewable
The micro turbine generator is a compact and efficient power generation device that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a small-scale turbine that can generate electricity by converting the energy from various fuel sources such as natural gas, diesel, or even renewable sources like biogas or hydrogen.These micro turbines are
Owing to their precedent characteristics, micro gas turbines (MGTs) have been favored as popular power machinery in plenty of energy systems such as

They comprise a compressor, combustor, impeller/turbine and electric generator on a single shaft or two. They can have a recuperator capturing waste heat to improve the compressor efficiency, an intercooler and reheat. They rotate at over 40,000 RPM and a common single shaft microturbine rotate usually at 90,000 to 120,000 RPM. They often have a single stage radial compressor and a single s

In addition to the turbo group, the generator, power electronics and control system also belongs to the micro gas turbine. For constant electrical energy conversion, a high-performance generator is directly coupled to the connecting shaft. It converts the mechanical energy generated by the external combusted micro turbine into electrical

AE-T100 - The modular value. AE-T100 microturbines can reach 90% efficiency, and are available in three different versions: externally-fired (AE-T100E); biogas-fueled (AE-T100B); and natural gas-fueled (AE-T100NG). Modular installation allows to cover a wide range of different power needs, with each module delivering 100 kWel of electrical
1. Introduction. Microturbines are energy generators whose capacity ranges from 15 to 300 kW. Their basic principle comes from open cycle gas turbines, although they present several typical features, such as: variable speed, high speed operation, compact size, simple operability, easy installation, low maintenance, air
