  • Abstract
    The paper presents an investigation into the effects of integrating a Magnetically Loaded Composite (MLC) flywheel to an isolated micro-grid. The Fair Isle is a small island located in northern Scotland, and supplied from two wind turbines and two diesel generators. The model of the micro-grid is developed and run on a real-time simulator with the physical MLC flywheel as a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL). Furthermore, a time-domain model of the MLC flywheel system is developed and its predictions are compared to measurements.
