“…One important direction of the MT modelling is to conduct mechanism analysis, using available packages in commercial software, such as DIgSILENT, PSCAD and MATLAB/Simulink [18,22,23,24,25,26] For example, Rowen proposes a gas turbine mechanical model in [22], which describes the thermo- 40 mechanical process of the MT prime mover. In [23], the correlation between the electro-mechanical and thermo-mechanical subsystems is modelled.…”

“…In [23], the correlation between the electro-mechanical and thermo-mechanical subsystems is modelled. The impact of MTs on the distribution network is analysed under a range of load conditions [24]. Further, dynamic behaviours of hybrid MT and other distributed generation system are investigated by using simulation studies and small-scale physical 45 experiments [25].…”

As one of the most successfully commercialized distributed energy resources, the long-term effects of microturbines (MTs) on the distribution network has not been fully investigated due to the complex thermo-fluid-mechanical energy conversion processes. This is further complicated by the fact that the parameter and internal data of MTs are not always available to the electric utility, due to different ownerships and confidentiality concerns. To address this issue, a general modelling approach for MTs is proposed in this paper, which allows for the long-term simulation of the distribution network with multiple MTs. First, the feasibility of deriving a simplified MT model for long-term dynamic analysis of the distribution network is discussed, based on the physical understanding of dynamic processes that occurred within MTs. Then a three-stage identification method is developed in order to obtain a piecewise MT model and predict electro-mechanical system behaviours with saturation. Next, assisted with the electric power flow calculation tool, a fast simulation methodology is proposed to evaluate the long-term impact of multiple MTs on the distribution network. Finally, the model is verified by using Capstone C30 microturbine experiments, and further applied to the dynamic simulation of a modified IEEE 37-node test feeder with promising results.

“…It is also well known that MT system employs complex dynamics, bringing about technical challenge in control design and stability analysis. Proportional-integral methodology is generally utilized to control the output speed of the MT system [4][5][6], with fewer novel controller designed based on the improved model constructed in work [7].…”

Micro turbine (MT) is characterized with complex dynamics, parameter uncertainties, and variable working conditions. In this paper, a novel robust controller is investigated for a single-shaft micro turbine as a distributed energy resource by integrating a feedback domination control technique and a feedforward disturbance compensation. An active estimation process of the mismatched disturbances is firstly enabled by constructing a disturbance observer. Secondly, we adopt a feedback domination technique, rather than popularly used feedback linearization methods, to handle the system nonlinearities. In an explicit way, the composite controllers are then derived by recursive design based on Lyapunov theory while a global input-to-state stability can be guaranteed. Abundant comparison simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, which not only perform an improved closed-loop control performance comparing to all existing results, but also render a simple control law which will ease its practical implementation.

“…Use of power electronics interference for single -shaft MTG system to convert the frequency of the generated power to the nominal frequency also causes harmonics in generated voltage. Very few researchers have considered split -shaft design of MTG system coupled with synchronous generator ( SG ), and studied the dynamic performance of MTG system but complete block diagram representation with proper controller is not available in the literature [10,15]. Main advantage of split -shaft MTG system is that it does not require electronics interference to convert the frequency of the generated AC power.…”

: This paper presents the dynamic analysis of load following performances of split-shaft microturbine generator (MTG) and Diesel Generator systems considering P-I type load following and P-I type speed controllers under stand-alone mode of operation. In this paper microturbine system coupled with a synchronous generator (SG) is considered. The dynamic performances of split-shaft MTG and Diesel Generator system are also examined when they are connected together to satisfy the load demand. Finally, the MTG and diesel generator systems are connected to an 11 kV rural distribution network to examine the transient behaviour during active power injection. Simulation result for all the cases are analyzed and presented in this paper.
