Abstract

The idea of connecting some adjacent microgrids and making a multi-microgrid (MMG) have recently attracted attention among power system researchers. It helps better operate, control and manage the power system. This paper presents a multiobjective optimal power flow (MOPF) algorithm for improving the performance of MMGs incorporating interline power flow controller (IPFC). The proposed MOPF simultaneously minimizes MMG operating cost and total energy loss, as well as voltage profile deviation of all buses in the system. The proposed multiobjective nonlinear constraint optimization problem is formulated considering the control variables of IPFC. Also, the proposed algorithm guarantees that the final system operating point has a suitable security margin from the voltage instability point. A typical MMG system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and proficiency of the algorithm. © 2012 IEEE.
