title = "Demonstrating the Need for Adaptive Droop Control for Grid-Forming Inverters in Islanded and Grid-Connected Modes",
abstract = "This paper demonstrates the need of adaptive droop of grid-forming (GFM) inverters operating in different operation modes (grid-connected and islanded). A pure hardware microgrid comprising multiple grid-forming (GFM) inverters from different vendors, multiple grid-following inverters, and a diesel generator is used for the demonstration. The key findings are summarized as follows: Tighter droop slope should be used in the islanded mode, and looser droop slope should be used in the grid-connected mode to ensure stability. It is important to have adaptive droop control in GFM inverters to ensure stable and reliable microgrid operation.",
