In this paper, the impact of clustering multiple microgrids during blackouts, on their stability and supply availability, will be investigated. Microgrids have the capability of satisfying their emergency loads during blackouts. However, distributed energy resources (DERs)-dominated microgrids are affected by the uncertainty of their input energy supply, e.g. impact of solar irradiance on photovoltaic (PV) output. Moreover, an individual islanded microgrid is prone to instability issues due to… 

Robust Microgrid Clustering in a Distribution System With Inverter-Based DERs

From the robustness studies, the best possible microgrid configurations are determined for IEEE 33-bus system having a mix of inverter-based DERs and synchronous generator-basedDERs, and all possible micro grid cluster formations are studied for finding the most robust microgrid islanding strategies.

Impact of Communication Latency on the Bus Voltage of Centrally Controlled DC Microgrids During Islanding

This paper investigates the effect of wireless communication technologies latency on the bus voltage and performance of DC CCMGs and how to mitigate it and shows that the impact may be severe depending on the design, and the operational condition of the MG before latency occurs.

A Case Study on Increasing Microgrid Resiliency Using Reserve Power Procurement Method

Power system decentralization has been an emerging topic for the past decade in an effort to improve power quality and environment protection via increased integration of renewable energy sources.

Power Sharing in Multiple DC Microgrids Based on Concentrated Control

A central power sharing control scheme is proposed to manage power flow among connected de MGs with different voltage ratings, and this control method shares the power among DGs proportionally.

An Energy Management System With Optimum Reserve Power Procurement Function for Microgrid Resilience Improvement

An energy management system for a microgrid having a resiliency function, allowing to operate under the islanded mode after an accident, is proposed and the proposed tool, called Resilient Energy Management System (ResEMS), aims at procuring reserve power into the microgrid’s battery energy storage system (BESS) effectively, by importing it from the nearby connected power system.

Qualitative and Quantitative Transient Stability Assessment of Stand-Alone Hybrid Microgrids in a Cluster Environment

It can be inferred that, coupling hybrid microgrids is feasible from the voltage, frequency, and also transient stability point of view, however, the risk of large-signal rotor angle instability in pooled microgrid is relatively higher than in islandedmicrogrids.
