Abstract

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids (MGs) provide efficient integration of renewable sources into grids and the interconnection of multiple MGs can improve system reliability, efficiency and economy by energy sharing. In this paper, a distributed and robust energy management system is proposed for networked hybrid AC/DC MGs. For each individual MG, an adjustable robust optimization model is proposed to optimize its individual operational cost considering the uncertainty of the renewable generation and load demand. For the networked-MGs system, the energy sharing information of each MG is coordinated by the DC network to minimize the power transmission loss with network constraints. The overall optimization model is formulated, exactly convexified and solved in a distributed manner by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), where only limited information is required from each MG entity (i.e., the power injection to the network) and thus information privacy is guaranteed. Simulations of the networked hybrid AC/DC MGs are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed energy management system.
