[RE-wrenches] AC to AC syncrhonizer for hydro plant.

[David Katz]

  Jeremy,
You can use a PV Powered inverter if the Hydro is in range of the sizes 
they make.  You just need to rectifiy the AC output of the hydro. They 
are very tolerant of spikes and load changes in the house.  You will 
also need a device to prevent the voltage from exceeding the maximum 
input voltage of the inverter.  This is simpler and less expensive that 
trying to synchronize the turbine to the grid.
Call Derik Veenhuis at Hydroinduction Power - 707 925-3507. He has done 
this many times.
David
