Can VF control be used in DC microgrids
Conventional droop control is mainly used for DC microgrids. As a result, DC bus voltage suffers from rapid changes, oscillations, large excursions during load disturbances, and fluctuations in renewable energy output. These issues can greatly affect voltage-sensitive loads. . If DC MGs are to be implemented in real-world engineering, a stability control strategy is required; therefore, research on voltage stability and coordinated control of DC MGs is extremely important and promising.
