Droop Control
Droop Control is a method used in power systems to manage the output of generators, particularly in microgrids and renewable energy systems. It allows generators to share the load based on their capacity without needing a central controller. By adjusting their output in response to changes in frequency or voltage, generators can maintain system stability and reliability.
This technique is particularly useful in systems with multiple generators, as it helps prevent overloads and ensures that each generator contributes proportionally to the total demand. Droop Control is essential for integrating solar panels and wind turbines into the energy grid, promoting efficient energy distribution.
