abstract
Power systems are evolving from centralized power grid structures to networks of intelligent microgrids (MGs) that can share power more independently. The interconnection between these MGs, forming the networked MGs (NMGs), will increase the power system’s stability and expand its capabilities. However, a critical concern that necessitates sophisticated management strategies for voltage stabilization across the microgrids is the optimal and effective power sharing between renewable resources and energy storage devices. Effective power sharing between AC and DC sides is critical, necessitating robust control mechanisms for interlink converters (ILC). This paper presents a coordinated energy management strategy for hybrid networked MGs (NMGs) to enhance stability during contingencies and fault instances. The proposed Energy Management System (EMS) operates in two distinct modes: grid-connected and islanded. The system takes specific actions to maintain stability depending on the current mode. In grid-connected mode, the grid supplies the load demand while one of the microgrids (MGs) serves as a backup to ensure system stability. Several scenarios were created using MATLAB/Simulink to test and validate the EMS. These scenarios included varying load demands, pulsed power loads, uncertainties in photovoltaic (PV) system generation, disconnection from the AC side, and fault conditions. The proposed EMS has proven its efficiency while maintaining the system stability within the standard limits and fulfilling the load demands.
