Esteemed fellow wrenches: May we put our heads together on today's problem in my terrain: How best to distribute and regulate the output of a single turbine from a convenient distribution point to four residences on the off grid property, each with it's own 12 volt battery/inverter system. If I may spare you the details of the lake/stream/intake/penstock and apparatus, let's say we have sufficient head and flow to divide 700 watts four ways, average distance maybe 300 feet. The problem becomes: diversion controllers and dump loads at each battery or some central scheme? Anybody done this kind of thing? Cautionary tales welcomed. (Any experienced comments welcomed. Thanks muchly in advance. Nick Houser Off Grid Services, Lund, British Columbia.
