Excellent. The only reason I would prefer an induction generator is that there are 30 to 100 horse power "induction motors" available at even no cost.
THANKS for the link.
Agreed, all the way down to your last paragraph.
But then what are the apparatus and formula is needed to create the self-excited state for a particular 20 hp induction motor driven at a constant speed by a prime mover; and if the induction generated voltage is rectified and intrinsically...
Connected Or hooked .... NO..but isolated by a grid certified inverter. ...yes
If only it could safely be directly connected, but that isn't an option AND ABSOLUTELY NO ONE SHOULD DO IT. It does make you wonder how a grid connected drag line or crane might potentially turn into an induction...
Yes... exactly except for your words "at high DC voltage". The voltage produced by the "rotating machine" would be AC and would be a characteristic of an "excited" induction motor driven at speeds a few percent faster than normal electric motor rpms, which makes them into an electrical...
OK I've developed a workable grid tied "wind" inverter, Certified, installed and successfully operating waste flare gas utility grid connected net metering system, with its associated functional usable space heating appreciated with todays -40 degree wind chills.
All this fully described...
Given that most small scale electrical certified grid tie constant voltage (wind) inverters are no longer available commercially.......is it possible that level 2 chargers designed to "charge" any electric vehicle......might possibly be used to control amperage to constant current inverters such...
Long time no see...Tom G.
Perhaps the "successful project" is the same one you and others on the forum contributed to way back in 2019.
There' s still a lot untried and untested alternatives to expand the list of solutions. My Intertec certified, tried and proven system (AC generation of...
A few more comments and with acknowledged help of the
Oh the power of the internet. And glad you have a solution that works in your situation.
I too initially tested the same basic system by overdriving a nominal 60 cycle 20hp induction motor with an ac genset. That induction motor was...
Hey fellas:
I'm actually still alive and just ran across "steelaussy"'s recent post.
For those interested in flare gas or waterpower or even small scale wind net metering; here are my observations.
IT WORKS ...AND IT CAN produce a significant surplus of unused power (that can and does get...
Time for 3 year update to an approved "Carbon neutral" grid tied CSA approved and power company approved Net Metering connection
Some said it couldn't be done.
So tell it to the Chief electrical inspector, Intertec and The provincial power utility and Department of Mineral Resouces and even the...
Multiple excellent thoughts and leads anorunda and dullard. Thankyou and I will certainly follow up several of them.
And yes the 6 pulse 3 phase rectifier did pass the Intertek certification for Canadian for CSA equivalency. It is considered a "component" piece and has a European mark (...
If I may; its 90% red tape and regulation; where near electrical monopolies didn't allow new entrants till last few years where homeowners were allowed some limited entry. But that can be handled with perservance and living within the standards. Marketing is for the future and will be someone...
