A prospective on modeling and performance analysis of micro-turbine generation system

Micro-turbine (MT) technology is becoming more popular and viable distributed energy source in the recent years. This is due to their advantages such as high operating efficiency, ultra low emission levels, low initial cost and small size. The integration of the increasing portion of MTG within the existing infrastructure requires a full understanding of its impact on the distribution network and its interaction with the loads and its location. This paper is a novel attempt to combine research update, and modeling and simulation of MTGS. Firstly, modern research efforts in such generation system that is capable to maintain continuity of supply when renewable source alone is not sufficient are presented. Different research issues related to MT size, location, operation, model and applications have been addressed. Secondly, the simulation results of MT system are presented by developing its simulink model. The system performance is studied at different operating conditions.
