Abstract— As generation and transmission costs, stability,
and security issues continue to be complicated by a growing
population that relies primarily on centralized electricity
production, alternative distributed generation systems show
promise as a solution. This paper presents a hybrid Windmicroturbine
generation (MTG) system and evaluates power
management and implementation methods with power
electronic interface for stand-alone operation. The Wind-MTG
system dynamic model consists of a wind energy conversion
system that utilizes a self-excited induction generator and a
single-shaft microturbine that incorporates a permanent magnet
synchronous generator. Actual wind data is used to simulate
generation profiles for the hybrid system. Simulation results
presented for a case study indicate the suitability of the hybrid
system for distributed generation.
