The use of renewable energy resources and storage units is increasing in the electrical grids. Most of distributed generation and storage units are connected to the grid via power-electronic converters. In near future the electrical grid will be dominated with the inverters of very fast dynamics. A new data-driven control methodology is introduced to design decentralized and distributed controllers using only frequency response data. The method is based on convex optimization and is used for frequency/voltage control and active/reactive power sharing in islanded microgrids.
