Distributed power generation has grown in popularity in recent years,
especially in areas not connected to the national grid. As a result, rural
microgrids are becoming more common, involving great potential for energy
based on biomass conversion such as gasification. After analyzing distributed
power generation facilities in developing countries, the authors found
problems with the frequency stability. This paper focuses on solving the
problem of frequency control in energy supplied by microgrids based in
biomass gasification. For that purpose, the authors have developed a physical
model of a downdraft gasifier, this model was used for design a novel
strategy for frequency control, which has been based and validated on an
existing gasification system, which supplies power to a population in Necoclí
(Colombia).
