Comparative study of series and parallel schemes for stabilization of a microgrid integrated with a solar thermal cogeneration system using virtual synchronous generator control

When a solar thermal cogeneration system is located close to energy consumers, the electricity loss caused by transportation can be largely reduced and the low-temperature thermal energy can be utilized for air conditioning. In this case, a microgrid is introduced to connect a solar thermal cogenera...
