multiple SW inverters on a small AC source [RE-wrenches]

[hugh piggott]

<x-flowed>I wonder if anyone has done this?  I plan to use a small hydro (maybe 
2-5kW depending on flow that month), and share the power between four 
or five houses, using Trace sw or ps inverters.  Hydro on AC2, and 
back up diesel gensets per house, over-riding  on AC1.

The advantages would be the efficient, direct AC supply to the 
houses, the ability to meet high peak power in each house, and the 
ability to share the energy equally between batteries.  The 
disadvantages are not yet known but could include instability in 
regulating AC2 amps, and losses of synch.

Has anyone used multiple SW units on a small AC source?  2 on one 
genset for example?  Thoughts?

thanks!
