Grid-Forming Control and Solar Curtailment | Evaluating Microgrid Control with Simscape Electrical, Part 2

Graham Dudgeon, MathWorks

An AC electrical power system cannot operate in a secure and stable manner without a well-regulated voltage and a well-regulated frequency. A control system in an AC electrical power system that directly contributes to the control of voltage and/or frequency setpoints is referred to as grid-forming. You will learn how,

1. Droop control is a form of grid-forming control, with the added benefit that it facilitates effective power sharing if there are two or more sources under droop control.
2. How solar power output must be curtailed in the event of a load disconnection in order to maintain voltage and frequency setpoints.
