A coordinated and hierarchical operation of active distribution networks with microgrids, specifically when they have distributed energy resources allocated and operated in an optimized way
Power system dynamics is changing partly due to the large scale deployment of renewable energy sources into the electric grid. Integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), energy storage, and microgrid have introduced new challenges and opportunities for managing power system operation.

The proliferation of distributed generators (DG), storage, communication and control enables distribution grids to transition from passive to active distribution networks (ADNs) [1].This transition aims at increasing efficiency and renewable energy, using demand flexibility, and speeding up outage recovery [1].Furthermore, ADNs are able to offer ancillary or other

Dear Colleagues, The research and development of smart grids and microgrids that have taken place in recent decades is how some countries have modernized their transmission and distribution networks in order to respond to the challenges and problems that the grid has to face, such as the increasing demand or the higher penetration levels of renewable
Microgrids (MGs), as localized small power systems, can effectively provide voltage regulation services for distribution networks by integrating and managing various distributed energy resources. Existing literature employs model-based optimization approaches to formulate the voltage regulation problem of multi-MGs, which require complete system models. However,
Technical development in the field of DERs is also resulting in the formation of MicroGrid (MG) and active distribution networks (ADISNET). These are LV power supply networks comprising integrated DERs, which are designed to supply power to small communities, operating either in synchronism with the MV regional grid or as stand-alone systems.
In order to incorporate the independent Virtual Microgrids (VMGs) to the real-time operation of upstream active distribution network (ADN), an interactive dispatching model of VMGs and ADN is proposed, in which the downstream VMGs perform self-dispatching while trading both energy and ancillary service procurement to the Distribution System Operator (DSO).

This paper presents an active distribution network design optimization with the option to transition into a microgrid, quantifying reliability and resilience improvements, and considering faults within the network as well as unexpected islanding events, which require fast-ramping distributed energy resources.
Distribution networks have undergone a series of changes, with the insertion of distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation, energy storage systems, and demand response, allowing the consumers to produce energy and have an active role in distribution systems. Thus, it is possible to form microgrids.
Using California data as an exemplary case, the decision boundary between active distribution networks and microgrids varies between 10% and 22% reduction in System Average Interruption Duration Index, depending on the current grid reliability.
So, in general, both microgrids and other distributed resources that can be incorporated into the active grid, if their operation and the DERs were appropriately optimized/allocated, tend to decrease power losses and operation costs of active grids with microgrids and other DERs.
In this case, it is considered a planned island operation of the microgrid during the periods from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Note that, in the case of islanding, the battery can only supply critical loads on the microgrid. The microgrid dispatch is shown in Figure 8.
From the results presented in Table 2, it can be seen that adding microgrids to active distribution grids, in general, is beneficial in terms of economic and technical aspects because the costs are not greatly increased (scenarios 1 and 2). The microgrids have enough energy and try to contribute to the grid by injecting energy.
