Simulation and Analysis of Synchronous Diesel Generation System Based on PSCAD

Abstract:

In view of the challenging issues in microgrid diesel modeling and connecting to the power grid, this paper presents the design and simulation of a diesel generation system which contains an internal combustion engine and a synchronous generator. Furthermore, droop control with PI regulator applies to the diesel generator model and the performance of the generation system has been tested under various operation conditions using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform, the simulation demonstrates that synchronous diesel generation system can operate smoothly either in islanded mode or in the grid-connected mode. The transient response is analyzed and all the variables voltage/current/frequency are under IEEE 1547 standard.
