Abstract

With the ever-increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the challenges they introduce, micro grid (MG) appears to be a promising approach to accommodate these challenges. This has resulted in the increasing application of MGs, and it is now more probable than ever to have adjacent MGs and form networked MGs. Networked MGs (NMGs) are clusters of MGs that are physically interconnected and functionally coordinated. This paper presents the architecture and distributed control strategies of NMGs. Distributed control focuses on resiliency and reliability through active power sharing and voltage and frequency regulation. Application of distributed control on practical NMGs is performed in a real-time fashion, which is the first time of its kind. Detailed case studies together with comprehensive discussions demonstrate the potential of this control strategy in realistic and practical NMGs.
