Micro-turbine Generators
In recent years, modern precision manufacturing techniques and
design methods have substantially improved the performance of
micro-turbine generators (MTG). Compared to conventional
generators, micro-turbine power sources are much smaller and
portable. Microturbine generators are also proving to be more
efficient, easier to maintain, and more environmentally friendly
with fewer emissions.
Although power generators running on microturbines can use
various types of energy sources, Micro-turbine Generators brings
together a wide range of engineering experience to describe the
emergence of micro-turbine technology, its viability and its future
potential.
