Microturbines are small ignition turbines just about the size of a refrigerator with output of range from 25 kW to 500 kW. They are developed for automotive and truck turbochargers, small jet engines and supplementary power units for airplanes. It encompasses combustor, alternator, turbine, compressor, and generator. Microturbines offer various impending advantages when compared to other technologies and techniques for small-scale power generation. These advantages include small light-weight, compact size, lower electricity costs, greater efficiency, lower emissions, and occasions to make use of waste fuels. 

Market Dynamics

Major market drivers comprises of cost effective solutions for power generation, innovative technologies, and others. Falling oil & gas prices can adversely affect the growth of this market. The Microturbines market is set to grow, due to rising acceptance of combined heat and power (CHP), increasing efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas release, and increasing demand for clean energy, globally. In addition, replacement of phased-out nuclear & coal plants are also expected to fuel the Microturbines market in near future.
