Extended Abstract: Modeling and Analysis of a Mobile Power Microgrid System

Fuel efficient mobile microgrid systems play an important role as a supplement power source to reduce vulnerability of the electric grid. This project highlights a framework to model a diesel generator based microgrid and compare the results with a hybrid diesel and battery inverter-based system. The study uses fuel consumption variation with the peak load as a metric to compare the performance of a diesel generator based and hybrid microgrids. Furthermore, this poster will discuss potential solutions to further optimize and improve the fuel savings of a hybrid microgrid.
