For sure. Each CHP unit will have a BIG switch with 3 positions: CHP
OFF GRID

Hi,

I grew up supporting the grid and will fight to see it retained. However
LENR brings new business opportunities. With 45 kW of heat from a
Hyperion unit, it is possible to build a relative low cost and simple
CHP system to interface to the Hyperion unit. There is simply no
commercial reason to feed the Ac kWhs back into the grid. We do have the
opportunity to build 10 - 50 MW LENR plants as peaking generators. With
that business model, there is very rapid payback. The idea is to cherry
pick the most profitable markets for LENR systems, to develop turn key
solutions and then to make sales. As we see it, market resistance is the
lowest in domestic CHP followed by investor owned non dispatched 10+ MW
peaking plants and finally base load plants or retro fits to replace
fossil fuel powered boilers.

At least in the beginning the reliability of these units is not likely to be
high. A grid connection provides for the possibility of grid backup when a unit
fails. When lots of units are in use, they provide backup for one another.
Therefore I think the most likely scenario is that the grid itself will remain
for some time, but central power generation will die off.
