| Abstract: In this paper a dynamic and steady state model of a distributed generation scheme is presented. Both the dynamic and steady state results of the simulation model are verified with those obtained from a laboratory prototype and the results showed a close agreement. The experimental model was designed to supply isolated loads as well as in parallel with the grid. The proposed system consists of a microturbine driving a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The ac power generated from the PMSG is rectified and, along with a Fuel Cell, is connected to the dc-link. A PWM inverter delivers ac power to the load. The laboratory prototype uses a dc motor as the prime mover for a separately excited dc generator representing the fuel cell, while the microturbine is modeled using a shunt dc motor as the prime mover for a three phase PMSG. | ||
