Abstract: A microgrid system includes a common bus; a generator electrically connected to the common bus, the generator comprising a prime mover; a generator stator; and a generator rotor coupled to the prime mover. The generator rotor and the prime mover have a combined generator rotational moment of inertia and the prime mover is configured to rotate the generator rotor relative to the generator stator at a system angular velocity to generate electricity. The synchronous condenser includes a synchronous condenser rotor with a synchronous condenser rotational moment of inertia. The synchronous condenser rotor is configured to rotate at the system angular velocity in response to rotation of the generator rotor. The microgrid system has a combined system rotational moment of inertia including the generator rotational moment of inertia and the synchronous condenser rotational moment of inertia, wherein the system rotational moment of inertia resists deviation of the system angular velocity.
