Abstract:This paper considers the suitability of the standard DEGOV diesel generator governor model for use with reciprocating gas engine generators within microgrids, due to their reduced step loading capability. The paper found that use of the standard DEGOV model would significantly overestimate the gas engines capability to accept step load, and an alternate model was developed to use a gain scheduling variable gain factor within the controller, based on the generators existing loading. This model was found to be e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
