This paper provides a brief overview of the master-slave control and peer-to-peer control strategies used in microgrids, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. . Primary droop control allows GFM inverters to share power without communication; however, it is necessary to dispatch GFM inverters and/or SGs with the desired output power for better energy management (e., one GFM inverter needs to charge the battery due to a low state of charge). When the microgrid operates in islanding mode, ensuring voltage. . Abstract - This article reviews the current landscape of droop control methods in Microgrids (MG), specifically focusing on advanced, communication-less strategies that enhance real and reactive power sharing accuracy.
