Droop Control/Evidence
Method evidence record

Droop Control

Droop Control is a decentralized control method that enables independent generators (inverters, microgrids) to operate synchronously without direct communication. Introduced by Guerrero et al. in 2013 for microgrids, droop control uses frequency and voltage deviations as signals to share power. By making generator output depend on frequency and voltage (like synchronous generators), microgrids achieve plug-and-play operation. Essential for modern distributed energy resources and grid resilience.
