Appendix B

The document reports on tests of a Capstone microturbine generator conducted on October 25, 2000. It includes 13 figures showing power output, shaft speed, turbine exit temperature, and DC bus voltage measurements taken during load step changes, shutdown, and startup tests of the microturbine operating in both stand-alone and grid-connected modes. The tests measured the microturbine's response to varying power demands and changes in operating conditions.
