<p>Hi Michael,</p>
<p>You can do this with Gateway as each xanbus is isolated and you will not get the fault of (2) split phase masters on one network. I do this all of the time as it was my request to Schneider a long ways back. Others also have been asking.</p>
<p>In a way what you want to do is the best way as the charger is not influenced by the load. It gives you a spare xw and alot of other things that make life nice. Gateway is now called Insight facility. You do not want insight home as it only has one xanbus.</p>
<p>So when you call support (which I have zero problems with) you really need to be requesting engineering support. Support is really just for issues with warranty. They really are not there to train people as it is not their function. Not saying you need training either. There is so much of XW equipment out there that people buy a used xw and think support will help them set it up. </p>
<p>Thanks also for your support last year also. Did you ever figure a way to get power down into that river canyon with solar up top on the ridge? We did similar here in Mariposa but did not have your constraints.</p>

<div> A friend has an off-grid property that is served by a Canyon Industries AC turbine w/ T&H controller. Output is around 2kw. Of course, no surge capacity there. He has recently moved there full time and is Vrbo'ing one of the cabins so power needs have increased.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> What I have done previously in these situations with low Kw AC turbines is install a battery based system and Iota chargers that are powered from the turbine. That's always worked well, BUT now that we are disciples of the Discover AES/XW pairing I thought I would try this: </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) Connect the turbine's output to AC2 and use Gen Support to enable loads above 2kw or surges. That's placing a lot of faith in Gen Support, and if it were to not respond quick enough, well ...trouble. The site is six hours away.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then my friend tells me that he would like to throttle the turbine down during the summer to conserve water, reducing output to .5-1kw. So, I got to thinking:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) One inverter for charging only. One inverter for power output only. Charging inverter communicates with AES through Xanbus and is connected to a Gateway/Insight so that I can remotely adjust AC2 input current to scale with seasonal turbine fluctuations. Neither inverter is Synced or knows of the other's existence. Output inverter gets a SCP for basic control<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>and monitoring. Battery bank is connected to a Discover SOC monitor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess my questions are: Do you see any problems with this arrangement? Would having what amounts to an external load (the output generator) trip things up since it's not communicating w/ the batteries? Could/Should I include the output inverter in the Xanbus loop? And/Or can I connect the output inverter to the Gateway device since it has two inputs,</div>
<div>Xanbus 1 and 2.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've tried to reach Schneider to speak about this to no avail. Great product, not so great support.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in Advance,</div>
