This article compares two strategies for seamless (re)connection of grid-forming inverters to a microgrid powered by droop-controlled inverters. While an incoming inverter must be synced to the microgrid, seamless syncing and power-sharing are technical challenges for grid-forming inverters.

Traditionally, inverters in power systems have been designed to operate in grid-following mode, meaning they follow grid voltage and frequency and regulate active and reactive power. In a grid-forming inverter, voltage and frequency are actively controlled, and this capability is particularly important in microgrids and in situations where

This paper explores the dispatchability of grid-forming (GFM) inverters in grid-connected and islanded mode. GFM inverters usually use droop control to automatically share power with other GFM sources (inverters and synchronous generators) and follow the change in the load demand; however, they can be dispatched like their grid-following (GFL) counterparts to output the

This thesis aims to study the modeling approach and control technique of a GFM inverter in an islanded grid. The droop-based control of a GFL inverter is also studied and compared to that of a GFM inverter to understand the fundamental difference in their operation.
If all synchronous machines are taken out of service, there will not be any voltage reference, rendering grid-following inverter operation infeasible. Hence, the way that the GFL inverters are controlled today results in the inability of the grid to operate 100% inverter-based resources (IBR).
Hence, the way that the GFL inverters are controlled today results in the inability of the grid to operate 100% inverter-based resources (IBR). Therefore, in the absence of a synchronous generation as a stiff voltage source, the frequency and voltage of the grid must be controlled by some of the inverters.
