Abstract
This paper proposes a cooperative strategy for the flexible integration of stand-alone AC microgrids using an intermediate multiterminal DC link based on voltage source converters. The strategy manages cooperative power exchange between microgrids through a knowledge-based fuzzy inference system that relies on the current operating conditions of the microgrids. By determining the amount of power to be exchanged between microgrids to improve global reliability, the cooperative strategy achieves an overall reduction in load loss and an increase in the use of available renewable energy. Additionally, the multiterminal DC link provides complete isolation between microgrids, allowing for independent AC bus voltage regulation and management. The effectiveness and expandability of the proposed cooperative energy exchange strategy for enhancing the overall operation of multiple integrated microgrids have been fully verified by simulation and experimental validation.
