Dynamic behavior of mobile generator set with variable speed and diesel engine

Abstract

The engine-generator dynamics at a sudden load change (from low load to high load) remains a challenge in case of variable speed diesel generator. The dynamic behavior analysis presented here proves that the introduction of an energy storage element into the EGS with variable-engine-speed concept eliminates this drawback. This paper addresses the identification of the dynamic behaviour of such variable-speed EGS systems and the problems encountered during a sudden increase of load (power and voltage drops).
