Survey of Droop Control Technique for Parallel Inverter Operation

Increasing demand for large-scale power delivery with high reliability and quality necessitates the use of multiple distributed energy resources to be connected in parallel; for example, parallel inverters operation. Proper operation of parallel inverters requires sophisticated control techniques and many have been proposed and continue to evolve. This paper depicts the droop control techniques for the parallel inverter systems. The recent improvements and variants of this control technique are presented
