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.

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 Ron Young _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: [email protected] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org ----- No virus found in this message.
