Abstract

The electric grid is evolving into an electrical network composed of power electronic converters interconnected with renewable and energy storage technologies. This requires the adoption of more advanced control such as volt/var regulation, fast frequency control, and active power frequency response. This work presents a communication and control framework to support dynamically changing droop control segments that can be used for different optimization schemes. Results are presented to work in a controller hardware in the loop testbed.
