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 moreefficient, 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.COMPLETE CONTENTS: ForewordAn introduction to micro-turbine generatorsMicro-turbine generators – next generationAnalysis of micro- and mini-turbine competitive and supply markets in EuropeFuture potential developments of micro-turbinegenerators – hybrid cycles and tri-generationDesign reliability of micro-turbinesField experience with micro-turbines in CanadaDesign problems in micro-turbine generatorsTip-leakage flow: A comparison between axialand radial turbines
