Distributed generators such as the micro‐turbine generator (MTG), fuel cell (FC) and solar power generator will be increasingly installed and operated in distribution networks. With this tendency, a new concept of energy supply system called the micro‐grid is now being studied and tested in the field today. This paper presents the results of a study on the load‐following performance of typical distributed generators, MTG and FC by modeling and simulations. In addition, behaviors of voltage and frequency in a micro‐grid after sudden separation from the utility grid (islanding condition), in which MTG and FC are installed, were studied by simulations. © 2008 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
