The paper proposes a simple but effective model for no-inertia microgrids suitable to represent the instantaneous values of its meaningful electric variables, becoming a useful platform to test innovative control logics and energy management systems. The proposed model is validated against a more detailed microgrid representation implemented in the electromagnetic simulator PSCAD-EMTDC and then against experimental data collected on the University of Genoa test bed facility. Recorded data highlight a good trade-off in matching the results of the proposed model, confirming its suitability to be used for the preliminary testing of new control logics for islanded microgrids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
