Electrical Grid Quality Power To Alternative Energy Sources


Just the facts concerning Grid Quality Electrical Power mixed with alternative electrical power.


When considering any alternative electrical energy system a ATS (automatic transfer switch) is usually a common practice for isolation and protection from Grid Quality electrical voltage. The principle works with auto start fueled generators whereas when grid power is lost there are a few seconds down time and the auto start generator kicks in. When grid electrical power is resumed than once again the ATS does it's job and turns the fueled generator off. Having ATS control allows for additional switching points to interconnect with alternative electrical energy sources.

Grid Quality electrical power can be copied and made into a smaller footprint for onsite hybrid microgrid electrical power and where Net Metering is allowed and a source to sell electrical power back to the utility provider.  Some utilities do not allow Net Metering backfeed into their transmission systems so the next step is called Net Zero meaning zero monthly electrical billings. With the many new advancements in recent years in electronics, alternative electrical power can copy grid quality electrical power and produce Net Zero goals with just off the shelf products that are made to be blended with other manufacturers products of the same grid quality components. 

Benefitting residential and commercial clients with alternative electrical energy and consulting options with over 42 years as a retired master electrician. Working with vendors, engineers & others who offer grid quality off the shelf products that are designed for alternative electrical energy sources of power like solar and wind and any hybrid green source all made to operate nicely together.  

You do not need to be a rocket science or have knowledge what so ever to understand the working model of a hybrid electric microgrid. And the reason is PLC (programmable logic control) it is the workhorse that tells the many different forms of electrical power what to do and to operate in harmony together. With the world today replacement is the order of the day if a product wears out replace it with a more efficient one. Examples of this are residential appliances that are older wear out from time and useage and are replaced with ENERGY STAR RATED more efficient ones.  Same principle for PLC control that only needs wired once as the programming is done over a computer saving time and money. Every part built into a microgrid should be monitored for many reasons like fault and 7/24/365 for EOL (end of life) on component run time hours of operation. Aircraft and others use these same EOL for operation run time, it is a proven workhorse that does its job. 

The bottom line is alternative electrical works and can produce Net Zero and Net Metering safely reliably, and efficiently. What is even better is that there is zero down time from various sources of electrical power transfers. The old days are gone when you had a few seconds of down time before the auto start generators kicked in. Now on to today with inverter power transfers that are so fast that clock or computer resets are not needed with grid quality off the shelf products.

Mixing the jigsaw puzzle of various products aka vendors together for a safe, reliable and efficient mini microgrid electrical system system can be done in stages and is upgrade-able as your wattage loads demands increase.Simply said your current AC loads can become free with the investment of grid quality off the shelf products from various vendors.
