New Miniturbine Takes Aim at Microturbine Market

摘要

Looking to capitalize on demand for medium output units, DTE Energy Technologies will begin delivering 400 kW mini-turbines early next year under the brand name energylnow. DTE Energy Technologies, The Turbo Genset Company of London, England, and Pratt & Whitney Power Systems have partnered to build a 400 kW miniturbine. Unlike vertically integrated Capstone, which built its business from the ground up, DTE Energy Technologies has taken best-of-breed components from several manufacturers and designed what the company terms a miniturbine, capable of generating 400 kW. As a result, DTE Energy Technologies believes it has effectively launched itself onto the microturbine scene with a new marketing approach that the company anticipates will produce annual sales of more than 500 units worldwide by 2005.
