The paper "Networked Microgrids: A Review on Configuration, Operation, and Control Strategies" by Mohammad Javad Bordbari and Fuzhan Nasiri provides an updated and comprehensive review of the literature on networked microgrids (NMGs). The authors focus on two main categories: NMG configuration and NMG control. They explore key aspects of NMG configurations, including formation, power distribution, and operational considerations, and delve into NMG control features such as architecture, modes, and schemes. Each aspect is reviewed based on problem modeling, constraints, and objectives. The study highlights research gaps, particularly in frequency and voltage stability, reliability, costs associated with remote switches and communication technologies, and overall network resilience. A unified problem-solving approach addressing both configuration and control aspects of stable and reliable NMGs is proposed, and potential future trends are outlined to offer valuable insights for researchers in the field.
Networked microgrids (NMGs) are emerging as a promising solution to enhance power system resilience against climate change and natural disasters. NMGs consist of interconnected microgrids (MGs) capable of exchanging both power and information, forming larger and more resilient power systems. The paper reviews various configuration techniques, including clustering algorithms, graph theory methods, mixed-integer programming, heuristic approaches, game theory, and deep reinforcement learning. It also discusses power distribution techniques, operational modes, microgrid types, and network topologies. In terms of control, the paper examines communication technologies and protocols, control architectures, control modes, and control schemes, including hierarchical control, droop-based control, optimization-based techniques, and artificial intelligence-based methods. The authors conclude by outlining potential future trends and offering valuable insights for researchers in the field.The paper "Networked Microgrids: A Review on Configuration, Operation, and Control Strategies" by Mohammad Javad Bordbari and Fuzhan Nasiri provides an updated and comprehensive review of the literature on networked microgrids (NMGs).
