Capstone Green Energy said an affiliate secured an order to deliver and maintain a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) solar and microturbine trigeneration system for a hotel complex in Jamaica.
The new system is expected to negate the hotel company’s previously planned spend on a 2 MW standby generator.
The trigeneration system is designed to provide 2.25 MW of capacity, equal to the hotel’s peak electrical demand, as well as a 60% reserve capacity intended to support the hotel’s interest in establishing energy independence. The system also is expected to produce 440 kW, or 1.5 MMBtu per hour, of domestic hot water and 599 tons of dual-fired absorption cooling for the hotel’s peak cooling demand.
