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...

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 ...
