Abstract

The dynamic nature of renewable energy sources, such as wind and photovoltaic power generation, significantly impacts the frequency stability of microgrid systems due to their pronounced intermittency, inherent randomness, and limited output support. Despite ongoing research, a comprehensive understanding of control measures to enhance microgrid frequency stability remains lacking. This paper addresses this gap by summarizing domestic and global advancements in control strategies for microgrid frequency stability. Specifically, it examines the operating states of microgrids and associated frequency stability issues and expounds various methods for maintaining frequency stability. The paper proposes innovative control measures to enhance frequency stability, including improvements in master-slave control, droop control, phase-locked loop, and virtual synchronous generator (VSG) techniques, particularly during transitions between islanded and grid-connected modes. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of these enhanced control strategies in maintaining frequency stability, and the paper concludes by suggesting future research directions in this field.
