Microgrids, as a new type of power supply network that connects distributed energy sources with power loads, can operate in both grid-connected and islanded states. It has the advantages of high reliability and flexible configuration. When the microgrid operates in islanding mode, ensuring voltage and frequency stability becomes a primary focus of research. This paper provides a brief overview of the master-slave control and peer-to-peer control strategies used in microgrids, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The application of droop control strategies to microgrid converters is emphasized. This research analyzes the implementation of droop control strategies in addressing microgrid frequency and power offsets. Given the advantages of the synchronized fixed-frequency droop control method, the authors provide a detailed overview of this strategy, which is based on the global satellite navigation system (GPS). On this basis, a comprehensive comparison of various synchronous frequency control methods is conducted, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Finally, the research findings in this area are summarized, and the future development trends of research in this field are discussed and anticipated.
