6 FAQs about [Microgrid Clusters and Multi-Microgrids]

How to control a microgrid cluster?

Communications The operation and control of a microgrid cluster requires a coordination of the different DERs and, accordingly, it requires a communication infrastructure. Several approaches have been proposed for the control and operation of a microgrid.

Can microgrid clusters mitigate the unstable operation of a single microgrid?

Microgrid clusters can mitigate the unstable operation of single microgrids. The coupling of multiple systems requires control and energy trading schemes. The research in the literature mainly focuses on control and energy management. Several energy-market designs have been developed for prosumers and microgrids.

Can multi-microgrid clusters be categorized into different architectures?

Categorization of multi-microgrids into different architectures based on the layout of the interconnections, evaluation of reported control techniques in microgrid clustering and multi-microgrid protection aspects are presented, highlighting the possible areas of future research that would improve the operational aspects of microgrid clusters.

What is a dc microgrid cluster?

A DC microgrid cluster with three microgrids and a TAB interconnection converter is implemented in HiL. The real analog signals are sampled by the RCP and the PWM control signals are sent to HiL. With a low I/O latency, this experiment is comparable to a real physical system. Three DESs and a DG are deployed in each DC microgrid.

Can a dc microgrid cluster improve energy consumption capacity and power supply reliability?

The increasing use of renewable energy has raised concern on maintaining consumption capacity in view of the intermittent nature of renewable sources. A DC microgrid cluster can effectively improve energy consumption capacity and power supply reliability through sharing of energy storage among the participating DC microgrids.

What is distributed cooperative control of a dc microgrid cluster?

4. Implementation and validation The proposed distributed cooperative control of a DC microgrid cluster with multiple voltage levels connected by a MAB converter is validated on PLECS RT-Boxes which are hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulator and rapid control prototyping (RCP) of Plexim.
