Small-Signal Modeling and Analysis of Grid-Connected Inverter with Power Differential Droop Control

The conventional voltage and frequency droop control strategy in grid-connected inverter suffers a major setback in the presence of disturbance by producing oscillations. Adding a power differential term in droop controller is an effective way to address such drawback. In this paper, grid-connected...
