@Lionel!
I am sharing my own experience.
It's not difficult when you build model/prototype - Using PMA+Inverter scheme. When the purpose is the prove of concept. -
FYI: a $1.00/watt at $0.10/KWH requires 10,000 continuously operational hours to recover cost. 1 year= 24*365 = 8760 Hrs

Hi SplashEng
I like to share some thoughts though they may not belong to "want to hear" category. Specially in small hydro devices;
(1) It contains so much power; about 1000 folds of the wind; a device with a few percents or even dozens more the efficiencies does not make much of the big...
Dear Cllrdoor.
For a motor to act as generator it should outputs about 1.2 the rate power at when it is driven at 1.07 (107 percents) the synchronous RPM.
FYI: There are many efforts to lower its synchronous RPM using VFD (variable frequency drive) let's say to 100RPM . . . . and . . .then...
FYI:
In case you want operate an induction generator at low speed (18->300RPM)without gearbox, these diode circuits will be very much helpful.
