Dynamic simulation of microturbine generation system

As energy demands increase and the associated costs increasing with the demand, newer energy alternatives are becoming more important to society and also consumers want an economical and uninterrupted electric power. Recently, distributed generation (DG) has become an attractive method of providing electricity to consumers and retailers. In addition, from the viewpoint of economic feasibility, the costs of installing the generators and producing the electricity can be comparatively inexpensive using the DG method. Furthermore, electrical or thermal efficiency can also be improved if the utilities use co-generation or a combined heat cycle [1].
