TLDR
In this article, the authors describe a mini gas turbine generating system serving a microgrid, which is competitive with most electric utility rates, and possesses improved performance characteristics over central station generation and T & D power systems; and microturbine generation.Abstract:
This two part series of papers describes a mini gas turbine generating system serving a microgrid. The mini gas turbine generating system and microgrid introduced in this series of papers is competitive with most electric utility rates, and possesses improved performance characteristics over central station generation and T & D power systems; and microturbine generation.read more

Can microgrids make a major contribution to UK energy supply
Suleiman Abu-Sharkh,RJ Arnold,J Kohler,R Li,Tomas Markvart,J.N. Ross,Koen Steemers,Peter R. Wilson,Runming Yao +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the energy production by small scale generators in close proximity to the energy users, integrated into micro-grids, and found that the optimum combination of the generators in the microgrid - consisting of around 1.4 kWp PV array per household and 45% household ownership of micro-CHP generators - will maintain energy balance on a yearly basis if suplemented by energy storage of 2.7 kWh per household.

Assessing the contribution of microgrids to the reliability of distribution networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the situations where the existence of a microgrid may reduce the interruption rate and duration and thus improve the reliability indices of the distribution network and the relevant expressions necessary to quantify the reliability are presented.

Development of a Small-Scale Generator Set Model for Local Network Voltage and Frequency Stability Analysis
G. Quinonez-Varela,Andrew Cruden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of voltage and frequency stability within the defined limits is investigated and a reciprocating engine/generator set model is developed to accurately represent the overall dynamic characteristics of local distributed generators.

Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Microgrids: Modeling and Optimization of DERs
Kumail Twaisan,Necaattin Barişçi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a review of the studies on microgrid technologies is presented and discussed along with system control approaches for DERs and micro-grids, which indicate that the use of multimodal indicators that take into consideration the financial, technological, ecological, and social elements of microgrids increased the community's and stakeholders' reaction capability.

Microturbines-an economic and reliability evaluation for commercial, residential, and remote load applications
TL;DR: In this article, the economics of distributed micro-turbine generation operating isolated from the electric utility system and having enough reserve margin to either match or improve the existing reliability of service provided by central station generation and the T&D system were examined.
