The operation of diesel gensets in a CERTS microgrid

Synchronization of droop-controlled microgrids with distributed rotational and electronic generation

“…Moreover, (9) reveals that the time constants τ Pi of the low pass filters can be used as additional design parameters to shape the desired "virtual" inertia coefficients M i of the inverters. Methods to emulate additional characteristics of SGs are proposed, e.g.…”

“…For ease of notation, we are going to use (9) in the sequel to represent the inverter dynamics. We further define the matrices and column vectors…”

“…We will refer to such a system as a microgrid with distributed rotational and electronic generation (MDREG). In MDREGs, SGs may for example be used in combination with diesel engines or gas turbines [9]. Stability and performance of such systems have not yet been much explored from a system theoretic point of view.…”

Operation and control of a microgrid containing inertial and non-inertial micro sources

“…V. MICRO SOURCE MODEL As mentioned before there are four DGs in the microgrid. The diesel generator is modeled as [3] and not shown in the paper. Other three DG models and associated power electronic controllers are discussed below.…”

“…Such systems are widely used as backup or emergency power in commercial as well as industrial installations. Diesel gensets are also heavily used in remote locations where it is impractical or prohibitively expensive to connect to utility power [3]. Over the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in fuel cell system for power generation and identified as a suitable solution for distributed generation [4].…”
