no batterys

i have ask befor but it was a while ago so i will ask again but this time with more detail. is there any way to run a hydro system with out the batteries the water source is great. lets say i have a 12v 2500 watts system for some lights. i have a charge controller and every thing is wired the way it should be. will i need a bigger DC genorator motor to keep up with inverter with no batteries.

Re: no batterys

Sure, hydro gennys do this all the time. There quite few famous ones. Lets see, there is the Hover dam, uh, Niagara falls to name a few but of course they do have resistor banks instead of battery banks.
Have you ever monitored the output voltage of the hydro genny? Is it consistently between 11 to 14 vdc under load? not much lower or higher than this and the inverter could shut down. You see, the thing is when it get loaded down it slows down and the watts go down. As load is removed just the opposite happens. So another question would be is the load consistant?
