Distributed droop schemes for standalone and interlinked AC microgrids by Inam Ullah

“…So far, the common objective focused by the droop schemes has been proportional power sharing among the DGs based on their respective ratings. This objective is fine if the DGs are of the same type, just like the classical control of parallel synchronous generators. …”
