@jthowery no idea what "lps" means. We do run it year around; during the driest parts of the summer it might run only 6-8 hours per day, and 24/7 during wet winters. And yes, we are always happy to show off our plant!
I have a passion for micro hydro ..its in my blood for some reason? Id love to tour your place just for the info thanks guys Jason curious whats your lps?
Had you, at one point, considered having 4 motor/generators? It looked as though there would be room for one. It will be interesting to see what kind of wear you get on the belts. Congratulations!
No, 3 is more than enough for the turbine and the amount of water flow we have. Actually, right now, we are experiencing a drought and only one motor/generator is energized, and for only 8-10 hours a day. Hopefully we will soon have some decent rain.
