Podsumowanie	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.	Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a fundamental optimization framework for computing the most economical and secure operating point of an electrical power system. Introduced by Jean Carpentier in 1962, OPF minimizes operational costs (fuel, losses, or other expenses) while satisfying physical and operational constraints. Modern electric grids depend on OPF for real-time economic dispatch, security analysis, and planning, making it one of the most important problems in power systems engineering.	Unit Commitment (UC) is the problem of deciding which power generation units should be switched on or off over a planning horizon (typically 24-168 hours) to minimize total operating cost while meeting demand and reserve requirements. Introduced by Baldwin et al. in 1959, UC is a fundamental scheduling problem in power system operations, combining combinatorial optimization (which units to commit) with continuous optimization (optimal power output). UC remains one of the most important and computationally challenging problems in power systems.
