Optimal operation of multiple microgrids under network reliability based on asexual reproduction algorithm

Today, the number of micro-distribution networks is increasing. Meanwhile, for various reasons that can be justified in the field of smart grids and electricity market, the optimal operation of these microgrids is of great importance. On the other hand, the existence of high-intensity accidents has been the reason for the creation of micro-networks in many countries, which shows the importance of using multiple micro-networks to deal with these accidents. In this paper, the optimal use of interconnected microgrids to respond to normal and critical conditions is investigated. Since multiple microgrids can be connected to the main network and also to each other, so creating appropriate operating conditions while maintaining their independence is important. The purpose of this paper is to optimize network reliability. In this case, the keys between the microgrids is one of the items that are considered to provide the conditions for optimizing the microgrids. In the presence of renewable energy sources and the reliability of these sources, the simulation is performed by creating a scenario and applying it to the optimization program. The optimization objective function is performed by an evolutionary algorithm called asexual reproduction.
