Hi i have only worked on two so disregard if i am off track. Bob Gudgel of Midnite solar helped me with ideas. It seemed to me the water keeps flowing and if no load the turbine went fastest. As the load increased the turbine slowed down, but generated more power until the turbine was overloaded. Then the power dropped. It is difficult to MPPT a turbine. Again Bob can help here. But a turbine larger than the load can load follow. I believe the Classic CC can be programed to load follow this goes back more than 10 years
