COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES OF FLORESTAN MICROTURBINES
Lower Cost
FT Microturbines are lower-cost alternatives to existing microturbines and fuel cell technologies.
FT Microturbines overcome the primary limitation of existing microturbine systems which have high development and manufacturing costs due to their complex power electronic components and specialised maintenance requirement. Fuel Cells are generally more expensive than microturbines and have slower transient responses to changes in load demand, requiring high-purity hydrogen, which also impacts operational costs.
Our innovative gearbox design, integrating well-proven and mass-produced off-the-shelf components, aims to enhance cost-efficiency, reducing upfront costs by 30-40% during the pre-production phase. This eliminates the current barrier to widespread adoption of microturbines and even offers a lower-cost alternative to diesel generators at commercial scale-up.

Compact Physical Dimensions:
FT Microturbines have a compact design and are light-weight, allowing them to fit into tight spaces such as rooftop buildings and remote locations.
Easy Transport and Installation: FT systems are modular and pre-packaged units that can be easily transported and installed on-site. They do not require extensive civil works or infrastructure, saving time and money.
Scalable Design
Hydrogen - Trigeneration
Compact design - Portability
Scalable: FT's design, modelling and development capabilities cover a wide range of microturbine power systems, ranging from 1 kW to 250 kW. Currently, two versions have been developed: CTG (3 kW) and MTS (80 kW). FT systems can operate in stand-alone mode or in grid mode.
FT's Microcontroller System, with built-in internet connectivity, allows smart grid configuration with an unlimited number of interconnected FT Generators to meet power demands of 10MW or more. When combined with centralized Energy Intelligence capability, it enables larger-scale optimisation and lifecycle management, grid-level performance enhancement, and overall reliability improvement.

Hydrogen - Trigeneration
The multifuel capability of FT Microturbines will facilitate the transition to clean hydrogen fuel. FT Microturbines are small, efficient, and flexible power generators that can operate on a variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, diesel, biofuels and hydrogen. By having the capability to run on multiple fuels, FT will provide a platform for transition to clean hydrogen fuel by allowing for the gradual integration of hydrogen into the existing fuel resources. This helps maintain grid stability and enables harmonious collaboration with other renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and solar panels.

Another advantage of the FT Power System over fuel cells or diesel generators is its capability to be used in trigeneration applications using hydrogen. This significantly enhances energy system efficiency while achieving net-zero emissions.
FT Power Systems will incorporate advanced measurement and digital processing systems to offer real-time performance analysis, delivering comprehensive energy information on efficiency and predictive energy balance. This leads to a more stable and reliable grid.
