A microgrid, regarded as one of the cornerstones of the future smart grid, uses distributed
generations and information technology to create a widely distributed automated energy …

Coordination of different distributed generation (DG) units is essential to meet the increasing
demand for electricity. Many control strategies, such as droop control, master-slave control …

In this paper, a generalized droop control (GDC) is proposed for a grid-supporting inverter
based on a comparison between traditional droop control and virtual synchronous generator …

Microgrids consist of multiple parallel-connected distributed generation (DG) units with
coordinated control strategies, which are able to operate in both grid-connected and …

In the modern power grid, distributed generators are widely connected to the grid via voltage
source converters (VSCs). Analyzing the transient stability of VSCs under large disturbances …

Self-governing small regions of power systems, known as “microgrids”, are enabling the
integration of small-scale renewable energy sources (RESs) while improving the reliability …

The virtual impedance concept is increasingly used for the control of power electronic
systems. Generally, the virtual impedance loop can either be embedded as an additional …

The enabling of ac microgrids in distribution networks allows delivering distributed power
and providing grid support services during regular operation of the grid, as well as powering …
