[RE-wrenches] Generator Controlled Mini Grid

[Kevin Pegg]

Hi Drake, 

SMA has very good solutions for this. Does this out of the box without a bunch of custom control systems. I have put a few systems in like this, but the renewables not yet online (generator / battery now). If you google Isle of Eig you will find some info on what they have done there.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Generator Controlled Mini Grid


A potential customer is interested in a mini grid, set up by a 
generator, to connect his array to.

Some years back, on this list, an article was linked about a 
community with a central generator that had PV input to the generator 
supplied, local grid, using electronic controls.

Has any progress been made in this technology?  Does anyone have a 
link to the electronic control equipment or any other relevant information?

Thanks,

Drake
