[RE-wrenches] Generators and Grid-tie Systems

[Hugh]

I know a guy in Colombia who connects his Magnatek Aurora inverter to 
a genset when the grid is down.  Seems to work most of the time. 
He's got some sort of chinese turbine and chinese controller that 
dumps power off the back-up generator when necessary.

Isn't there some way to detect reverse power and add a dump load? 
Seems a shame to kill the renewable input when the grid is down.
