A Study on Droop and VOC Methods

Abstract

Grid-forming and grid-following inverters play crucial roles in modern power systems, each with distinct functionalities and advantages. This research paper aims to offer a thorough comparative analysis of these two inverter types, concentrating particularly on two grid-following methods: Droop and VOC. The paper explores the principles, merits, and demerits of each method and compares simulation results to assess their performance under overload conditions. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of inverter technologies and inform decision-making in power system design and implementation.
