Jorge,
you can contact Gen-Tec in Latham, MO. They offer Huegli Tech engine
and switchgear generator control made in Switzerland. Gen-Tec works
with Martin Machinery which manufacture and install CHP systems.
I would say your luck depends on the cooperation with the utlity
company. Some accept synchronous generators with expensive automatic
reclosures or relay systems for feedback prevention. Some will only go
ahead with asynchronous connections due to safety reasons.

ANF Energy Solutions Inc.
RR#3 Richmond, Ottawa, Ontario K0A 2Z0
Tel: 613-838-3605, Fax: 613-838-6505

ANF will be better people to guide you and your utility to make ends
meet. They have extensive experience in Ontario, Canada. They know how
hard it is to deal with local distribution companies.

Good luck.

Terrence

Subject: [Digestion] biogas electricity generation



Dear listers



We run a quite successful (I think!) biogas program here in Costa
Rica, which is growing in the size of the participating farms.  By
this time we are trying to produce electricity with the biogas and
connecting the generators (with potential for producing some 60-150kW)
to the electricity grid within our distributed energy program.
However, we haven´t found equipment for generating and safely
interconnecting to the grid (safe from the super expensive Capstone
turbines).



Can anyone suggest some other equipment maker ?  Other avenues?   We
do require IEEE 1547 (distributed energy) compliance.



Regards,





Jorge Montero

Costa Rica.
