| Summary: | A novel, fully distributed controller with a rapid convergence rate is developed to ensure the optimal loading dispatch for interconnected DC MGs. It comprises local and global-control levels, handling the economic load allocations in a finite-time manner, for distinct MGs and cluster of MGs, respectively. The local-control layer guarantees MG’s economic operation by matching the incremental costs (ICs) of all DGs, respecting the power equilibrium among generations and demands, DGs’ generation limits, as well as the transmission line losses. Furthermore, the economic operation of battery energy sources is considered, in the optimization problem, to strengthen the overall reliability and maximize energy arbitrage. The global controller adjusts MGs’ voltage references to determine the optimal exchanged power, between MGs, for reducing the global total generation cost (TGC). A rigorous analysis is developed to confirm the stable convergence of the developed controller. Extensive simulation case studies demonstrate the superiority of the proposed control system.
