Modeling and performance analysis of microturbine generation system in grid connected/islanding mode

Abstract

The microturbine based distributed generation (DG) system are predicted to play an important role in the distribution network in the near future. The microturbine generation (MTG) system has great impact on the DG system on real time system management and planning. It is popularly accepted that, MTG system are attracting the more attentions towards customers needs in a power generation market. Thus, to investigate the performance of MTG system and their efficient modeling are needed. This paper presents a dynamic modeling and performance analysis of MTG system in grid connected and islanding mode of operation. The model presented in this paper allows the power flow between grid and MTG system. The model of MTG system is built using mathematical expression in Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation result shows the performance of MTG system for grid connected and islanding operation. � 2012 IEEE.
