Interesting but way smaller scale than I was thinking. The Anguilla grid
has a capacity of 10 - 15MW from a single diesel generating station.

Hi Chris;
Marco Manglesdorf (on this list) is the man to talk to about that. He
is based in the Hawaiian islands; I only had the good fortune to work
for him for a few projects.

Ray,
The idea that the utility in an island is seeing an advantage to having PV
on the grid is a huge concept for me. As I am based in a small island
with a utility that is scared of solar pv installations, this concept is
tremendous ammunition for me. I am also fascinated by the idea of PV

I was just wondering about this same issue: of inverters being used to
support the grid. Just as charge controllers reduce their output
current as the voltage reaches absorption voltage, I was thinking that
GT inverters could do the same thing, instead of just shutting off, and
not reconnectin
Sounds like a voltage source (and sinking) inverter to me.
These types can cause current distortion which the UL1741 / IEEE 1547
specs try to prevent.
Apparent must be able to turn that mode on and off I would imagine.
It's not too difficult to do. No wonder
they talk about micro-grids.
As I understand the issue they claim to be able to address, the utilities
often need a source of reactive power close at the system delivery points,
the customer sites, because reactive power does not transmit well through
the lines and transformers and uses up transmission resources better used

I was involved with doing some testing with these guys for a company that
wanted to manufacture them in Washington State ( made in WA incentives) and
the concept is good, but I had a lot of questions that they were not able
to answer. Big one is the inverter was producing 10watts all night
