Decentralized Generation (DG) is expected to play a vital role in the future of electric power system. The power electronics interfaced microturbine generation systems are currently attracting lot of attention to meet different needs both at end consumers and the distribution utility levels. Dynamic modelling of the microturbine is a challenging process because manufacturers do not readily prov...

The using possibility of the vortex light beam with topological charges 2 and 5 for the rotation of the micromechanical element (microturbine) was considered. The results of the full-scale experiment on the optical rotation of the special form microturbine were presented. We evaluated the force moment, acting the microturbine.

High speed permanent magnet (PM) machines are used in microturbine applications due to their compactness, robust construction, and high efficiency characteristics. These machines are integrated with the turbines and rotate at the same speeds. This paper discusses in detail the losses in high speed PM machines. A typical PM machine designed for microturbine application is presented with its deta...

In a hybrid energy system consisting of renewable sources of energy, there should be some storage facility or backup generation to maintain continuity of supply to the load when renewable source alone is not sufficient. The objective of this paper is to present one of such generating system that is capable of acting as a backup generator. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a mic...

This paper presents the dynamic modeling and simulation of a microturbine generation (MTG) system, the nonrenewable source of energy suitable for isolated as well as grid-connected operation in microgrid networks. A microgrid is defined as an independent low or mediumvoltage distribution network comprising various DGs, energy storages, and controllable loads. The MTG system consisting of a perm...

In the paper, the authors have investigated the natural gas based microturbine of residential complex with the Matlab. The aim of this work is to present a daily simulation model for technical and economical analysis of natural gas microturbine application for residential complex. The main advantage of this model is the timeframe that is used, which is flexible, varying from hours, days, weeks,...

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 Ge...

A Hybrid System based on High Temperature Fuel Cells coupled to a Microturbine allows a high efficiency, low environmental pollution and it may be exploited as a CHP System producing heat and electricity both Grid Connected and Stand Alone; the overall electrical efficiency could reach a very high value (up to 60%) and total efficiency could be over 70% including the contribution due to heat re...

The microturbine generation (MTG) system are becoming the popular source of distributed generation (DG) due to their fuel flexibility, reliability and power quality. The MTG system is a complicated thermodynamic electromechanical system with high speed of rotation, frequency conversion and its control strategy. In spite of several techniques to control high speed of microturbine is not accurate...
