Title: Modular simulation of a hybrid power system with diesel and wind turbine generation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:656680

In this paper, the authors present the modular simulation tool they developed to help study the system dynamics for wind-diesel power systems. The principal modules of the simulator, which include a diesel generator, a wind turbine generator, a rotary converter with a battery, a village load and a dump load, are described. With a case study, the authors demonstrate how the designer benefits from easily understanding the effects of system modifications. Using this tool, a designer can easily develop control strategies to balance the system power flows under different generation/load conditions.
