Droop Control in Microgrids Laura Ramírez Elizondo
Learning Objectives • How is droop control implemented in a voltage source converter? • What are conventional and inverse droop control strategies? • What is a virtual impedance? • What are the advantages and disadvantages of droop control?
Droop Control Implementation in a VSI • Frequency droop control
Droop Control Implementation in a VSI • Voltage droop control
Conventional and Inverse Droop
Conventional and Inverse Droop Inverse droop: • Active power vs voltage • Reactive power vs frequency Conventional droop Opposite droop Compatible with HV Yes No Compatible with rotating Yes No generators Active power dispatch Yes No Direct voltage control No Yes
Droop Control with Physical or Virtual Impedance
Disadvantages of Droop-Based Methods • Unstable region • High frequency oscillations
