Title: Dynamic Modeling and Grid Interaction of a Tidal and River Generator

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1371833

This presentation provides a high-level overview of the deployment of a river generator installed in a small system. The turbine dynamics of a river generator, electrical generator, and power converter are modeled in detail. Various simulations can be exercised, and the impact of different control algorithms, failures of power switches, and corresponding impacts can be examined.
