报告简介：

With the significant increase in the number of microgrids appearing, very soon, we will see multiple microgrids located at a close distance from each other while each microgrid may be owned by different entities and even operated under various operating conditions and standards. This talk will focus on the concept of microgrid clusters and will introduce the progress of research in this field around the world and Australia, and will also discuss some of the technical challenges associated with the operation and control of such microgrids. The conditions of forming microgrid clusters, various topologies and control techniques, technical challenges, stability and synchronisation issues will be discussed in detail and some solutions will be introduced.
