I'd like to know a little more about your project, I may have a solution on the
turbine side that we've used you could sell them and couple it with the
solar......<br>

<p><span style='color:black'>Undoubtably many of us are getting interesting
project requests as folks want to sprinkle magic stimulus dust on things to
make solar panels grow...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='color:black'>We have a project with a huge electrical load,
pumping water for a medium sized city. They want solar... great.
Easy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='color:black'>They had a power outage and kept running with 2.6
MW of diesel generators. They are interested in solar's ability to do
"backup". I don't think that many batteries will fit in my
pickup truck, and I hate working with 300/0 wire.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='color:black'>QUESTION: (and maybe its an easy one and the
SMA guys will say, sure, we did that in Greece). Is it viable to set up a
micro-grid in this scenario and run an island-mode, with available solar
reducing the genny plant demand? Should I just say "forget it"
or, at this MW scale, would the switchgear and effort be practical?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
