Grid-Following Control | Evaluating Microgrid Control with Simscape Electrical, Part 3

Graham Dudgeon, MathWorks

An AC electrical power system, there are typically generation units that will operate in grid-following mode, meaning that they directly regulate active and reactive power output, and so do not directly contribute to the control of voltage and frequency. You will learn how,

1. A grid-connected microgrid has its voltage and frequency controlled by the main utility grid.
2. Electricity sources/sinks within a microgrid, such as a battery energy storage system, can be controlled in grid-following mode to change active and reactive power profiles.
