Wow, there's a lot of engineering going on here. I appreciate the explanation of CVT, now I understand it better and see that it's really not a viable solution for gensets.
Mike, Your approach is really neat but probably out of my league. I like the kit idea! If you build it, we will buy it. ;-)
Doug, I'm not sure how the current sensors would work or how the systemw ould be closed loop, could you please elaborate?
My main concern is that I want to use my generator to power my home load and a Central AC unit. I'm concerned that I'll have significant frequency and voltage droop when the compressor of the AC kicks in. I don't think I need 60HZ +/- 1hz accuracy, just something to keep it closer to nominal.
Thanks,
