Abstract

The present disclosure provides techniques for network-cognizant droop control in power systems, such as a power distribution system. An example device includes a processor configured to determine, based on (i) a model representing a structure of a power system that includes a plurality of energy resources and (ii) an indication of predicted uncontrollable power injections in the power system, for each controllable energy resource in the plurality of energy resources, a respective value of a first droop coefficient and a respective value of a second droop coefficient. The processor may be further configured to cause at least one controllable energy resource in the plurality of energy resources to modify an output power of the at least one energy resource based on the respective value of the first droop coefficient and the respective value of the second droop coefficient.
