Three low-pressure natural gas-fueled C65 ICHP microturbines will provide up to 195 kilowatts (kW) of power and 1.2 MMBTU/hr of hot water to offset utility power purchase and boiler natural gas use. The microturbine array will be installed in a combined heat and power (CHP) application resulting in increased efficiency, helping the hotel achieve the
The global hotel chain is a leader in the eco-innovation space and continues to pilot the adoption of clean energy across its portfolio of hotel brands. With an increased focus on transformative sustainability practices, hotel operators selected Capstone's low emission microturbine technology for its ability to reduce their carbon footprint and offset high utility costs.
According to
'The hospitality industry has evolved substantially over the last several years. Today LEED certification with energy efficiency measures, low emission on-site power generation, eco-friendly building materials, waste reduction, and local sustainability practices are quickly becoming the rule, not the exception,' said
'Capstone's C65 ICHP units have nearly 20 years of proven fielded experience across thousands of installations, this experience has made the C65 ICHP unit a gold standard among the sub 600 kW distributed energy technology space,' said
The modular design also allows all three microturbines to operate continuously, even during times of maintenance. Because each unit has only one moving part, such maintenance costs are dramatically lower than those required for more traditional power generation systems. The addition of acoustic inlet hoods reduces package sound ratings to those of standard boiler systems.
Capstone systems can provide a significant improvement in energy efficiency for operators and allow them to meet a shift to green in consumer preference towards sustainable hospitality operations. Hotel operators looking to gain control of their energy costs and reduce hotel greenhouse gas emissions can benefit from Capstone's combined heat and power microturbine to generate on-site heat and power to significantly reduce operating expenses and increase resiliency.
