Who controls frequency in a microgrid?

In conventional power networks based on rotary generators, frequency is controlled using a system known as frequency droop. If the network experiences a sudden increase in load or a loss of generation capacity, the increased load on individual generators causes a reduction in rotational speed and consequently, a drop in frequency.
