Abstract

The escalating adoption of low-carbon energy technologies underscores the imperative to transition from conventional fossil fuel-dependent sources to sustainable alternatives. The expansion of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) signifies an essential shift towards a more resilient and environmentally friendly energy landscape. However, integrating inverter-based DERs introduces challenges, particularly in system inertia and grid instability. This review delves into the critical area of inverter-based grid control strategies, focusing on the primary and secondary control mechanisms. Primary controls are investigated, including traditional droop control and low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability. The secondary control strategies, involving virtual impedance (VI) and load frequency control (LFC), are vital in maintaining grid stability and reliability are reviewed. The aim is to offer a comprehensive understanding of the principles, advancements, and challenges associated with inverter-based grid controls, contributing valuable insights for the seamless integration of DERs into modern power grids.
