Title
Model Development of Diesel Generator using Volts/Hertz Limiter and Comparing Governor Models for Remote Islanded Microgrids
Abstract
Diesel generators are an integral component of remote islanded microgrids in rural Alaska. As inverter-based generation is integrated in these microgrids, adequate transient modeling will be necessary as dynamic and transient stability issues can arise with significant contributions of inverter-based generation. A complete transient model of a diesel generator includes models of the machine, exciter, governor, and any relays or other limiting components. Few studies compare the adequacy of various types of diesel generator governor or exciter models or include a volts/hertz (V/Hz) limiting functionality commonly found in diesel generators deployed in such remote islanded microgrids. This paper introduces and compares diesel generator models in response to two load steps against responses from the ACEP PSI lab 400 kVA diesel generator which represents a realistic diesel generator found in remote islanded Alaskan microgrids. A simplified governor model is introduced and compared to the traditional DEGOV governor model, and the functionality of a V/Hz limiter added to a DC4B exciter is demonstrated.
