I wrote this article because i've always been into electronics, but this happens to be interesting these days with the cost of electricity. One of the oldest problems amazing me is the issue of "hybrid off grid" , Why doesn't anyone realise that if they have a grid tied inverter , it comes with an "anti-islanding" specification , meaning it switches off when the mains grid goes down for any reason, and its law for that inverter function in Australia. So you would put in 2 of small hybrid wind turbines of 400w rated (each controller can carry a 150w panel) up on a pole 12 meters high minimum and obtain 4 x 40ah deep cycle batteries and a 2500w "off grid" inverter (2500 to handle electric motor surge for two devices) and never have the upright fridge and freezer on the grid ever again! More than that, why not self import the whole off grid system at just over the price of grid for ten years and have and use twice the electricity?. The Australian House "The 15 Kw house" - Solar wind hybrid power system off grid http://wild-canidae-conservation-forum. ... e15kw.html So what does this come to in requirements and machinery on farms or on the edge of small towns(in suburbia wind turbines are too noisy)? particularly costs p/kw? Is the article useful and helpful or does it need more info? alternative link to article: The Australian House "The 15 Kw house" - Solar wind hybrid power system off grid http://sidewinder11sucommanderxer.podse ... e15kw.html 1 1346 Thanks for info, yes met with Power Utility, Builder's Site Supervisor and Electrician on site and aligned on the mains connection. Seems like the builder and Electrician… 2 10029 I know foam has been around since the 90's and CSR started manufacturing Hebel in 1989, so it's definitely possible 5 4123 |
