Paul, I think you mean to say kW-HOUR, not just kW. The former is a measure of the AMOUNT of energy used/needed/generated and the latter a measure of the RATE of usage/generation.
You call this a generator. Is that right, or is it an Alternator? Your system is exactly what I am looking for. Except --- I would like the drive engine/alternator be able to continuously support Air Conditioning unit(s). That means running one of the drive engines for long periods (like all night). I don't know yet if that is wise. My drive engines are both Yanmar 2MY15. Two cylinder, 15hp. This is a 2020 Gemini Legacy catamaran. ps: Some readers may not know - but I'm sure you know that kW is a measure of the output capability (amps x volts = watts) measured at a given moment. kW Hours is the length of time you are producing power at a certain kW capability. (kW x hours run = kW Hours. ) pps: Your material is the best on the internet!
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing
