Implementation of Model to Analyse the Performance of Microturbine as in Microgrid Comparison with Fuel Cell

Abstract

As it is known Microgrid is a miniature grid consist of one or more numbers of same or by different conventional or non-conventional generation sources. Here one can consider Microturbine (MT) as the main source of generation and it may or may not be connected with the main grid. The author discussed modeling of different types of Micro turbine during implementation of mathematical modeling of split-shaft type with the help of MATLAB® Simulink®. From developed models can be describe behavior of a MicroGrid (MG) under islanded mode as MT and SOFC as the sources. SOFC can change its electrical output power (30%) high or low, but take more time to response than MT (2-3 times more). It is demonstrated that Microturbines and fuel-cells are capable of providing a load-following service in the distributed generation system. Results prove the effectiveness of the two developed models in the studying and analysis of the transient dynamic response of MG.
