In reply to wintertree:
Yes have usage figures for past year, max load is 0.9 Kw. With May 23 driest month total usage 316 KwHrs.
We have a 450 Kw grid connection but our max power output is 425Kw. This is regulated via govener on turbine / spear open positions admitting water to turbine. Also by G59 protection/ACB settings.
If we get a grid fault and cannot export then system trips and after 3 start retries must be manually reset.
I am not an electrical engineer but we do have one on our board, if accepteable to yourself I can arrange a teams meet to (virtually) show you our scheme. Send me an email.
