Abstract: The interconnected microgrid system (IMS) is a promising solution for the problem of growing penetration of renewable-based microgrids into the power system. To optimally coordinate the operation of microgrids owned by different owners while considering uncertainties in market environment, a bi-level distributed optimized operation method for IMS with uncertainties is proposed in this paper. A hierarchical and distributed operational communication architecture of IMS is first established. A bi-level distributed optimization model was built for IMS, where at the upper level, the IMS operates purchase-sale mode or demand response mode with the distribution network operator and optimizes the trading power with microgrids to maximize revenue. At the lower level, the chance constraint programming is used to describe and deal with the uncertainty of renewable energy and loads and optimize the output and energy storage of distributed energy with the goal of minimum cost. The analytical target cascading and augmented Lagrange method are combined to decouple and reconstruct the bi-level model for distributed solution and establishing a fair price mechanism. The optimal solutions of the problem are obtained through parallel iteration, in which the price signal plays a coordinated role in the distributed iterative optimization process. Abundant case studies verify the advantages of the model and the performance of the proposed method.
