This paper proposes a novel hybrid control strategy integrating a Finite Control Set Model Predictive Controller (FCS-MPC) with a universal droop controller (UDC) for effective load power sharing in inverter-fed microgrids. Traditional droop-based methods, though widely adopted for their simplicity and decentralized nature, suffer from limitations such as steady-state inaccuracies and poor transient response, particularly under mismatched impedance conditions. To overcome these drawbacks, the proposed scheme incorporates detailed modeling of inverter and source dynamics within the predictive controller to enhance accuracy, stability, and response speed. The UDC complements the predictive framework by ensuring coordination among inverters with different impedance characteristics. Simulation results under various load disturbances demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms conventional PI-based droop control in terms of voltage and frequency regulation, transient stability, and balanced power sharing. The performance is further validated through real-time simulations, affirming the scheme’s potential for practical deployment in dynamic microgrid environments.
