Primary Voltage Mini Micro Grid

Utilities have used higher the voltage less the amp for the same wattage being operated theories for many years in transmission and in step up and step down voltage options.

 And so can anyone by adding solar, wind and any other charging source of electrical power it is very easy to take quality off the shelf products and mingle them into mini micro grid dc to ac pure sinewave electrical power that can match and mingle with grid power, generator, other ac sources. 

Producing more electrical energy than is being consumed is just a jigsaw puzzle of quality off the shelf products. Where Net Metering is allowed this excess electrical power is a bounous win and power outages are a thing of the past.

Massive amounts of electrical power can be stored into lithium ion battery banking as utilities and others are charging on off peak hours and bringing online during peak demands. Same principals but scaled down for mini micro grid residential/commercial island style connections.

Your own 7200 volt 7.2 KV mini micro grid. A residential single phase ac 200/amp 240/volt load is less than 7 amps at 7200 volts. Stepping up voltage lowers amperage rating for the same wattage being operated. This is all possible by once again quality off the shelf products mingled with island style PLC SCADA switching control. 

Consulting and pre built units can be matched to any clients requirements. Bounous win is that free electrical power is here today and is safe, reliable and unlimited because it's all in the numbers matched to operate efficiently for each client. Total off grid options are endless as this mini micro grid electrical power does not need connection to any grid power. You are your own grid system overhead or underground primary voltage transmission and switching options controlled by PLC SCADA control mingled to island style connect to step up and down voltage options in single or 3 phase options.

Residential Electrical Walk Thru Inspection May 3 2016

What was to be a simple water heater change out from gas to electric lead to the discovery of major electrical issues inside a clients recently purchased home.

The home breaker panel was stuffed full of wiring with no concern of wire placement to the circuit breaker placement on the original set up. And many tandem (piggyback circuit breakers) producing more heat than is necessary in the home breaker panel to gain additional space.

The solution to the fix was to remove over loaded panel and replace with larger 200 amperage load center panel along with new larger wiring from pole Main Breaker to new Home breaker Sub Panel.

The Main Breaker Panel was pole mounted but was not Main Breaker protected instead it was only Sub Panel 100/amp 240/volt single phase KW. Meaning that with all breakers in the off position there was still electrical power on the buss bar. The only way to cut all power to the buss bar was to unplug utility meter from the meter base. A unskilled or untrained person could of turned all the breakers to the off position and thought that the power was off, only to find that the buss bar was indeed energised. 

The solution was to remove pole mounted Sub Panel and replace with 200/amp Main Breaker weather proof pole mounted panel with enough breaker openings for further upgrades like Solar/Wind/Auto Start Generator and many other options.

By increasing the amperage from 100 to 200 amps and installing the stepping down method of the highest amperage breaker closest to the Main Breaker on down with bundled and organised wiring makes possible dissipating heat for all circuits breakers possible. A circuit breaker is designed to restrict the amount of amperage which produces heat. If piggyback breakers are used the heat factor to the buss bar is increased. The below photo acts like a heat sink and dissipates the heat factor as rapidly as possible. Any circuit breaker will only to take the designed loading and trip from fault or dead short if correctly grounded to the proper conductors, wires or cables.

Finely with these electrical issues fixed there was room for the additional breaker and wiring to be placed to operate the new water heater properly with no over loading or no overheating issues. It is much better to do the job correctly for safety reasons alone the 1st time around with no short cuts. 

Consulting and Walk Thru Inspections options are available to determine if your Main Breaker is correctly installed and operating as efficiently as possible. Book a date and time from Face Book or Website.

Mini Micro Grid PLC SCADA Control

Using electrical theories of the higher the voltage the less amp draw for the same wattage being operated opens many possibilities for free electrical power by investing in alternative energy. Any 50 or 60 hertz mini micro grid system in either single or 3 phase voltages can be designed and controlled with quality off the shelf products to tap this free  alternative energy.

By taking solar, wind and any other source of input and stepping it up to a higher voltage makes smaller wire and breaker size possible.

 Example (wattage/voltage=amperage) or (amperage X voltage=wattage) Most US residential homes have a main breaker panel rated for 200 amps (200 X 240 = 48000). So knowing that 200 amps is 48000 watts at 240 volts than means that same 48000 watt load at 7200 volts will equal less than 7 amps. 

This is why the jigsaw puzzle of alternative energy products need to play nicely together in a harmony of Island Style connections that can be grid tied or totally off grid connected. By combining these off the shelf products you are making your own mini micro grid system that has total PLC SCADA control and operation. There are alternative energy products on today's market that can do just that and so fast on power transfers from differents power sources are that computer or clock resets are not necessary.  

With many new advancements in lithium ion battery technology it is very easy to produce and store dc energy and convert it to ac electrical power. Proof of this is that utility companies are doing just that, charging dc batteries on off peak hours and bringing back online during peak hours and there systems are making MV (100,000) and above voltages.  

Consulting options on  alternative energy are available to meet any electrical requirement by retired master electrician and family business owner.
