Modeling and analysis of a micro-turbine generation system

A modeling approach for a micro-turbine based generator (MTG) system for the analysis of its thermodynamics, electromechanical stability and small-signal dynamic performance is presented. The MTG system is considered as a distributed energy resource which is interfaced with an electric power distribution system. Overall model of the MTG system including electromechanical sub-system, power electronic converter, filters, interface transformer, local load, distribution system, turbine-generator controls and the converter control are developed. Performance of the system under various fault and planned switching scenarios are investigated. NETOMAC software environment is used for the studies.
