OVERVIEW
We all know that we have entered into the era of electric vehicles and Capstone microturbines are used in these vehicle applications as a range extender. They act as an onboard battery charger, which is quite beneficial as well. Capstone microturbines in electric vehicles help to –
- Increase fuel economy (reduces fuel consumption)
- Quieter operations
- Reduce emissions
- Attain higher reliability
- Achieve smooth operations
It significantly eliminates the need for daytime battery charging or battery swapping, which is an added advantage. Hence, we can say that Capstone microturbines are responsible for clean, convenient, and cost-efficient transportation. Indeed, they have become an integral part of the transportation industry.
Let us see some of the most significant features and benefits of Capstone microturbines –
