Project Showcase - Montana's Biggest Grid-tie PV System
Chris Daum | Oasis Montana Inc
Chris Daum, owner of Oasis Montana, says, "This system is, at present, the largest, grid-tied solar electric system in Montana."
This system has no batteries; in full sun it should put out approximately ~50 KW (or 50,000 watts) of DC power, which is converted into grid-palatable AC power, thus making the MTDC's electric meter spin slower. The first trial run, when the system was powered up February 26th, showed 38KW on a partly sunny day!
A grant for part of this project will be forthcoming from Northwestern Energy. Oasis Montana would like to thank Mark Dickson, Brad Stevens, Jeff & Campbell Massey, Jim Chase, Joe Bartuska, Adam Ondra, Jonah Malo, Gabriel Zeak, Apex Engineering, DC Power Systems, the Waterman, Maxus Consulting and Eyers Electrical Contracting.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer
HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
