Resilience and Economics of Microgrids with PV, Battery Storage, and Networked Diesel Generators
Current designs and assessments of microgrids have ignored component reliability, leading to significant errors in predicting a microgrid's performance while islanded. Existing life cycle cost studies on hybrid microgrids—which combine photovoltaics (PV), battery storage and net...

Diesel Generator Controller Evaluation via Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop for Various Microgrid Operation Modes
This paper presents the Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) evaluation of a diesel generator controller for various microgrid operation modes. The model of the diesel generator (governor, exciter, and primary control) is simulated in real time, and the secondary control is impl...

Using Energy Storage-Based Grid Forming Inverters for Operational Reserve in Hybrid Diesel Microgrids
Studies transient dynamics in a hybrid diesel microgrid during loss of wind generation and evaluates a transition from diesel spinning reserve to a battery energy storage system operating reserve using grid-forming inverters. Combines electromagnetic simulations with a power hardw...

Experimental Validation of a Diesel Genset Frequency Dynamics Model for Use in Remote Area Power Systems
Addresses the need for accurate diesel generator dynamic models in converter-dominated remote microgrids by experimentally identifying and validating a frequency dynamics model for a 400 kVA diesel genset. Notes that original vendor/system models often do not match observed field ...

High-Fidelity Model of Stand-Alone Diesel Electric Generator With Hybrid Turbine-Governor Configuration for Microgrid Studies
Develops a high-fidelity dynamic model of a stand-alone diesel electric generator to support microgrid control design as inverter-based resources provide fast frequency response alongside diesel primary response. The model includes a synchronous machine, DC4B excitation with a V/H...

Droop Control-Based Dispatch of an Islanded Microgrid with Multiple Grid-Forming Sources
Before rotating, fossil fuel-based, synchronous generators (SGs) are phased out, in line with renewable generation goals, grid-forming (GFM) inverters are expected to parallel SGs. Primary droop control allows GFM inverters to share power without communication; however, it is nece...

Dispatching Grid-Forming Inverters in Grid-Connected and Islanded Mode
This paper explores the dispatchability of grid-forming (GFM) inverters in grid-connected and islanded mode. GFM inverters usually use droop control to automatically share power with other GFM sources (inverters and synchronous generators) and follow the change in the load demand;...

Development of a Practical Secondary Control for Hardware Microgrids
Practical, vendor-agnostic interoperability guidelines for the secondary control architecture of microgrids (MGs) with multiple grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources (IBRs) have not yet been developed. Therefore, this paper proposes a generic and vendor-agnostic secondary co...
