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). . 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. .
