“…The model was then integrated into the Micro-grid library (see Figure 11), developed in the EcosimPro© language (selected as it simplifies developing multidomain simulations thanks to the object oriented and non-causal approach). Results using simulations of the complete installation are presented in [12]. A complete set of parameter values and ranges is given in Table 1 and Table 2.…”

This paper focuses on modelling diesel generators for off-grid installations based on renewable energies. Variations in Environmental Variables (for example, Solar Radiation and Wind Speed) make it necessary to include these auxiliary systems in off-grid renewable energy installations, in order to ensure minimal services when the produced renewable energy is not sufficient to fulfill the demand.This paper concentrates on modelling the dynamical behaviour of the diesel generator, in order to use the models and simulations for developing and testing advanced controllers for the overall off-grid system. A diesel generator is assumed to consist of a diesel motor connected to a synchronous generator through an electromagnetic clutch, with a flywheel to damp variations. Each of the components is modelled using physical models, with the corresponding control systems also modelled: these control systems include the speed and the voltage regulation (in cascade regulation).

“…This paper focuses on modelling and simulation of the response of the diesel generator for start-up and load disturbances. Models of other components of microgrids have been presented elsewhere (see [12] and references therein). The modelling concentrates on reproducing the dynamic response (especially at start-up).…”
