Optimizing Micro Gas Turbine Operation in a Microgrid System
This paper investigates the operation of a micro gas turbine in a microgrid, serving as a supplementary power source for a municipal building.
The microgrid's wind turbines are the WTN250 by Wind Technik Nord, boasting a 250 kW nominal output. These medium-sized, stall-controlled turbines operate in grid-connected mode, featuring a hub height ranging from 30m to 50m and a specified 25-year lifetime.
In the new scheme of power generation, the local power supply is called a microgrid (MG) which bind together to organize the local balance of the power system. If a microgrid cannot achieve the balance, then it will get power from the neighbor microgrid or the strong backup system to assure constant frequency .
Micro Gas Turbines Micro gas turbines are basically small gas turbines with a power output range of 30 to 250 kW, operating on the same principle as open-cycle gas turbines. The setup consists of a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine, forming a basic Brayton cycle.
MGT units can work as a system together with renewables, or function as a stand-alone unit in off-grid operations. The features of micro gas turbines are compatible with the energy transition that is the carbon-free modern energy grid.
