Abstract

The energy management schemes in microgrids enhance the utilization of renewable energy resources and improve the reliability and resilience measures in the distribution networks. While microgrids operate autonomously, the coordination among microgrid and distribution network operators (DNOs) contributes to the improvement in the economics and reliability of serving the demand. Here, a decentralized energy management framework for the networked microgrids is proposed in which the interactions between the microgrid and DNOs are captured using the Benders decomposition technique. The proposed framework limits the information shared among these autonomous operators and facilitates decentralized energy management in the distribution networks. Furthermore, the unbalanced operation of the distribution network and microgrids, as well as the uncertainty in the operating modes of the microgrids, renewable energy resources, and demand, were addressed. Modified IEEE-34 bus and IEEE-123 bus distribution networks are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
