Alternatives to natural gas fed Capstone Microturbines
(OP)
The Capstone product line appears stable and effective. The initial capital cost can be hard to swallow.
What are alternative technologies and their manufacturers of lower kW (50 to 150kW) three phase power sources are on the market?
The need is for grid isolated systems.
Thanks!

The options depend on the application and size. Several ethonol plants use steam turbens, but that is because they use steam in there processes.
Many smaller cities use large diesels converted to run on natural gas. Even fewer use GT's.

They may not have a machine ready for installation, but it may be worthwhile taking a close look at depending on your needs.

You may want to check the fuel consumption at no load and at very low loads and factor that into your cost projections.

Here is the website of the Arrow Company I know about,

In Brasil and Columbia several years ago ran into a large number of Chinese copies also called Arrow, real junk in my opinion.
Hope that helps, Mike L.
