Mac,
I work with hydro power plants from 50W to 100kw. AC direct, DC, AC to DC,
stand alone and utility connected, in all sorts of configurations. Report back
with the turbine manufacturer and more specifics so that I may better advise
you. There are many routes one can take.

I don't really want to mess with changing the hydro, I'm more interested in
alleviating the manual transfer between power systems. I'm planning on
putting a power quality recorder/oscilloscope so that I understand what
type of power we are working with. Its semi-large (from my perspective)
isn't there a formula like head in feet X gpm divided by 10 = approximate
wattage?

You need head (pressure) and GPM, clean degree free, no silt, a catch basin
to stall the water, big pipe long run, try to keep the rollercoasters out,
(rises), and no 90's, that's just to start. Low head waterwheels can
produce lots of power to but you need a river of water.

Hi Wrenches,
I've got a site visit for a largish ranch hydro site tomorrow. I am
relying on info from someone who doesn't know all of the nitty gritty
details about how the power system works (like size) but I want to try to
educate myself a bit. I know a bit about hydro but I'm no expert.
