Introduction Microturbines are relatively small combustion turbines that
can use gaseous or liquid fuels. While large gas turbines
have been used for combined heat and power (CHP)
applications for several decades, microturbines emerged as
a CHP option in the 1990s. Individual microturbines range in
size from 25 to 500 kilowatts (kW) and can be integrated to
provide modular packages with capacities exceeding 1,000
kW. Figure 1 shows the microturbine CHP installed at a
commercial facility
