Backup generators. [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Ellison, Alternative Energy Systems]

I believe these are turbines, wait till you see the repair bill!
Had your jet serviced lately? (Me neither)

They might work for a big business but not on the level most of us are
working at. (Single family / small system)

Is a 30KW generator too big??  I just read a report
published by CERA (Cambridge Energy Research
Associates) on microturbines, including Capstone
(www.microturbine.com).  They run on diesel, LPG, NG,
and biogas.  I believe that if the biogas was
available it was the cheapest.  Natural gas was the
second cheapest.  10,000+ hours of run-time was
achieved with only minimal maintenance.  Also they are
25% more efficient and 600 times cleaner emmissions
over standard diesel engine generators.

I have proposed them as stand-by systems for some of
my larger commercial clients.  Expect to pay a little
over a $1/W for one of these -- not too bad
considering...

I know its not RE, but sometimes we have to bite the bullet.
