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...

Understanding Line Losses and Transformer Losses in Rural Isolated Distribution Systems
Rural, isolated power systems in the mainland U.S. and in states like Alaska and Hawaii are powered by assets like diesel generators. These rural, isolated power systems also cannot operate at the higher band of medium voltage (like 69kV). They are primarily in the 12 to 14 kV ran...
