[RE-wrenches] wood gasification to grid

[RE Ellison]

The inverter portion of the process at this point in time would be
relatively east to do. That's not saying that the inverter will like the
power quality. Most generators will not put out smooth enough power to allow
an inverter to connect. The engines that I have seen running on wood gas
were nowhere near smooth enough to meet an inverters interconnect standards.


After all that you get to deal with the regulatory hoops and I doubt that
would be easy.

Just some thoughts.

I have a customer who wants to use a 50kw generator converted to wood
gasification to tie into the grid. Any recommendations on the type of grid
tie gear that will be appropriate? It's a preliminary inquiry but I'm
guessing a 240v output from the generator, single phase but may be 3ph. I
see Solectria and SatCon make inverters in this range. Any suggestions
appreciated
