Influence of micro-turbines on distribution networks stability

Micro-turbine is an electric power supply alternative that is located closer to end-use equipment. However, there are a number of regulatory and technical barriers that must be overcome before large-scale use of micro-turbine can take place. This paper describes a dynamic model of a micro-turbine, which can be used in stability studies. The model is applied to a distributed utility grid that uses a micro-turbine plant as distributed resource. Transient stability and voltage stability of the system are investigated.
