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. Micro-turbine generators are also proving to be more efficient, easier to maintain, and more environmentally friendly with fewer emissions.
Although power generators running on micro-turbines 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.
