[sci.energy] Synchronous Inverters / Power Cogeneration

cvisser@ucrmath.ucr.edu (clyde r. visser) (11/24/90)

Does anyone know what the current state of the art is concerning power
cogeneration using synchrnous inverters?  I'm talking about small
scale here as well.  The Real Goods catalog mentions them in passing
by saying what synchronous inverters are but that they are cost
prohibitive.

To anticipate the obvious query:  synchronous inverters are used
in alternative energy systems to convert power from a DC source to
a AC power to be fed into the public utility grid.
