A DC microgrid is a localized electrical system that operates primarily on direct current. Unlike traditional alternating current (AC) grids, DC microgrids simplify energy management by reducing conversion losses and enhancing compatibility with modern technologies. Unlike traditional AC power grids, DC microgrids can incorporate distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar. . DC microgrids represent a step forward in achieving a sustainable and resilient energy future by enabling localized energy generation, distribution, and management.

The research in this paper is divided into the following steps: (1) constructing a multi-microgrid model primarily based on renewable energy; (2) formulating an optimization model with the objective of minimizing economic costs while ensuring stable system operation and solving it; (3). . These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity. This complexity ranges from the inclusion of grid forming inverters, to integration with interdependent systems like thermal, natural gas. . Due to the dominance of renewable energy sources and DC loads, modern power distribution systems are undergoing a transformative shift toward DC microgrids. The stochastic optimization and robust optimization techniques are utilized to deal with the long-term uncertainty of energy. . To address this, this paper proposes an operational scheduling strategy based on an improved differential evolution algorithm, aiming to incorporate power interactions between microgrids, demand-side responses, and the uncertainties of renewable energy, thus enhancing the operational reliability. .

This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent robust control strategies for hybrid AC/DC microgrids, systematically categorizing classical model-based, intelligent, and adaptive approaches. . Hybrid AC/DC microgrids have emerged as a promising solution for integrating diverse renewable energy sources, enhancing efficiency, and strengthening resilience in modern power systems. However, existing control schemes exhibit critical shortcomings that limit their practical effectiveness. . In this paper, we study the modeling, the control, and the power management strategy of a grid-connected hybrid alternating/direct current (AC/DC) microgrid based on a wind turbine generation system using a doubly fed induction generator, a photovoltaic generation system, and storage elements. . Hybrid AC–DC microgrid systems have recently emerged as a promising method for connecting AC loads with AC microgrid (ACM) and DC loads with DC microgrid (DCM). It is of great significance and value to design a reasonable power coordination control strategy to maintain the power balance of the system.
