Active distribution networks (ADN) may operate in different modes according to the generation demand balance and the capacity of the primary grid for imposing a constant frequency. Conventionally, a customized optimization model is used for each operating mode. Unlike that conventional approach, this article proposes a general optimization model capable of operating the system in three different modes: grid-connected, islanded with a surplus of generation, and islanded with a deficit of generation. Real-time operation is required in this framework with guarantees such as global optimum, uniqueness of the solution, and fast algorithm convergence; for this reason, a convex approach is employed for grid modeling. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed optimization-based operation model can handle the three types of operation while ensuring the safety operation with frequency and voltage within expected limits.

The increasing impact of climate change and rising occurrences of natural disasters pose substantial threats to power systems. Strengthening resilience against these low-probability, high-impact events is crucial. The proposition of reconfiguring traditional power systems into advanced networked microgrids (NMGs) emerges as a promising solution. Consequently, a growing body of research has focused on NMG-based techniques to achieve a more resilient power system. This paper provides an updated, comprehensive review of the literature, particularly emphasizing two main categories: networked microgrids’ configuration and networked microgrids’ control. The study explores key facets of NMG configurations, covering formation, power distribution, and operational considerations. Additionally, it delves into NMG control features, examining their architecture, modes, and schemes. Each aspect is reviewed based on problem modeling/formulation, constraints, and objectives. The review examines findings and highlights the research gaps, focusing on key elements such as frequency and voltage stability, reliability, costs associated with remote switches and communication technologies, and the overall resilience of the network. On that basis, a unified problem-solving approach addressing both the configuration and control aspects of stable and reliable NMGs is proposed. The article concludes by outlining potential future trends, offering valuable insights for researchers in the field.
