@article{oai:kitami-it.repo.nii.ac.jp:00008404, author = {Obara, Shin’ya}, journal = {International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems}, month = {}, note = {Technology was investigated to control cyclic fluctuations in an independent microgrid powered with unstable renewable energy by use of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC, 1 MW) in a triple combined cycle (SOFC-TCC) that included a gas turbine (G/T, 0.8 MW) and a steam turbine (S/T, 0.2 MW). A large-scale solar power system (0.8 MW) and a wind farm (0.8 MW) were interconnected with the electrical power network through an inverter. The cyclic fluctuations ingredient of the network was controlled by a suitably designed inertia system and by governor-free control of the G/T and S/T. The SOFC-TCC’s control block diagram was submitted to MATLAB/Simulink R 2013a, and the deviation of electrical power and frequency in the independent microgrid caused by the SOFC-TCC and renewable energy interconnection was clarified. As a result, a range of suitable inertial constants for G/T and S/T and the electrical output characteristics were determined. Selecting a small inertial constant for the simulation resulted in a large frequency deviation of G/T and S/T, with frequency stabilized for a short time. On the other hand, selecting a large inertial constant resulted in a controlled frequency deviation, although the unstable frequency of the power grid continued for a long time.}, pages = {89--102}, title = {Control of Cyclic Fluctuations in an Independent Microgrid by an SOFC Triple Combined Cycle Inertia System}, volume = {68}, year = {2014} }
