The above photograph depicts the AC Switching Cabinet (ACSC), Multi Genset Control System (MGSC) and Station Control Module (SCM) for the Caribbean renewable hybrid project.
The AC system sources are switched through a customised AC switching cabinet that is rated at 1.5 MW. In addition, OPS supplied a Station Control Module that incorporates local and remote access to the system.
These ancillary system components have years of field-hardened experience in OPS projects. The MGSC has been specifically developed to operate and automate a number of diesel generators at a typical isolated power station: it can interface with a HPC or other OPS hardware to achieve a seamless power supply system.
How intensive crop production makes possible up to 4 times the production of conventional (organic) practices, including 12 month cycle of crops. "Overlapping intercropping" is discussed in more detail later.

It was locked. All we could was poke our fingers through the mesh. As the week wore on, we considered unscrewing it.
the home is built on an east-west axis to take advantage of passive solar on the south. this also keeps things nice and bright, so you don't have to turn your lights on as much, conserving energy.
