What Is CHP? •  An Integrated Heating Cooling and Electric Power

System •  Located Onsite or Near a Building/Facility •  Supplies a Portion of the Total Electric Load •  Recovers the Waste Heat from Generating

Electricity to Provide the Facility with: –  Space Heating/Hot Water/Steam –  Space Cooling –  Dehumidification –  Heat for Processes (such as sterilization or cooking)

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Capstone Turbine Corporation 5

Reason #1 •  Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Saves

Money by Increasing Efficiency


Typical CHP Paybacks


Reason #2 •  CHP can be simple, modular, small, quiet


Integrated CHP Solution


Heat Recovery Module (HRM)

Reason #3 •  CHP can fit with your environmental goals


Category Reduction vs Traditional (1)

Greenhouse Gas (CO2) 28% Criteria Pollutants (NOx) 94% Energy (Fuel in MMBTU/year) 29% Equivalent Cars Removed (2) 575 (1)  Based on 50% Heating/50% Cooling. Capstone MT heat recovery uses double effect

absorption chiller for cooling. Traditional assumes average US Power Plant (Source: EPA) for electricity, electric chiller with COP of 3, and 80% efficient boiler.

(2)  Assumes 1MW project operating 8,500 hours per year. US EPA data for “equivalent” car emissions and fuel consumption.

EPA Recognition


Reason #4 •  CHP can provide backup power


ENERGY How Natural Gas Kept Some Spots Bright and Warm as Sandy Blasted New York City By ANDREW C. REVKIN NOVEMBER 5, 2012 6:11 PM

Severe Weather •  Caused 675 power

outages in USA since 2003

•  Cost $18-33 billion per year

•  Account for over 70% of all power outages today, compared to 25% before 1980

•  70% of grid transformers and transmission lines are over 25 years old

Reason #5 •  Financing and Incentives Exist for CHP


Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas is selling excess electricity back to the grid from their CHP system through a net metering arrangement New York Presbyterian gets natural gas at a preferred cogeneration rate from ConEd

Reason #6 •  Over 300 Hospitals in U.S. Have a CHP

System •  Resources Saved Can Be Reinvested in

Improving Patient Care

Case Study: Kaiser Vacaville •  Medical Center Combined Heat and Power

–  12 Capstone C65 to generate 750 kW –  Commissioned 2009

•  Facility Quick Facts –  580,000 sq. ft. –  facility average load 1MW –  Electricity offsets base load, heat offsets boiler

•  Benefits –  NOx emissions reduced by 72 tons a year –  CO2 emissions reduced by 1,741 tons per year –  Payback 2.5 years

Annual Energy Bill savings $450,000 / year

Why Microturbine CHP?

•  Lowers operating costs •  High reliability >98% •  Low total cost of ownership •  Low emissions •  Low noise
