Hi all Sorry I guess I didn’t explain the clients wants well enough
1. 90-100kwh+ 48 vdc lithium battery 2. 208 3 phase AC generator powering 48v nominal battery chargers. 208-3phase as that is the house/EE design voltage. 3. AC generator because it’s back up if the inverters fail, so no DC generator. 4. Client doesn’t want any drop outs or have to reset clocks etc during generator/inverter- charging/switchover. 5. Inverter size is not decided yet, probably 40-80kw. 6. Generator size isn’t specified yet, but given the loads 60-125kw probably. Size would be based on battery charging or max ac load which ever is larger. That leads me external chargers. I’m looking for large programmable battery chargers for lithium batteries powered from a 208-3phase ac generator in the 60-125 kw size range.
