I don't really want to mess with changing the hydro, I'm more interested in alleviating the manual transfer between power systems. I'm planning on putting a power quality recorder/oscilloscope so that I understand what type of power we are working with. Its semi-large (from my perspective) because I believe that they transmit at 11.4 kV and step it back down. That tells me that the penstock is long (and expensive). In some ways my post is premature, but the big question is can you have a largish hydro feed a load direct without storage (maybe there is a dynamic load bank or something like that? I like the idea of feeding batteries direct and letting the inverters make good quality power but I'm ignorant about hydro on this scale.
