Limited power usage is a common problem that surfaces periodically when a new system is installed with limited power capabilities.
One protector per 10 housel holds penalizes 9 of the ones that are limiting their power usage, so one penalizes 9 that may become very angry against one culprit. Yes, you expect 100 watts maximum per household, 24/7, specially in the dark hours of the day. Indeed, many may not use the 100 watts during the day, unless there is a charger for battery storage. Radio is common. Some of the households do not have good natural lighting and it is another problem that may force the user to use the full energy during the day. The majority may not have enough money to get additional battery storage to get more energy in the dark hours -- a simple car battery may represent several months of wages -- then the charger -- plus additional requirements --. The power limiter should be installed one in each household, for peace and tranquility of the community and for the survival of the hydro system to recuperate the investment which many times comes from sources out of the country that loaned it many times without interest charges or at a very low rate and the household monthly charges for energy usage runs well below one American dollar -- a lot of money for many households. -- Regards Nando ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas B Rupp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 9:45 AM Subject: Re: [microhydro] suggestions required > > each household can not consume more than 100 watt.. > > Do you expect each household to consume its maximum of 100 watts at all times? > > How about splitting it up into 18 loads of 1kw with 10 households per load to better leverage the available power? > > --Douglas > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > > Does your company feature in the microhydro business directory at http://microhydropower.net/directory ?
