What is a Microturbine?
As its name implies, a microturbine is a small size gas turbine. Generally, anything below 500 kW can be considered a microturbine. There are many types of microturbines. Some are used for model jet fighters; some are being developed for use in very small spy drones; and others are used to produce electricity. While the latter may sound a little blase compared with the former, the technology it uses in power generation is cutting edge and constantly evolving. When referring to the general class of microturbines, we will only be speaking of the power-producing microturbine
