The operation of multiple microgrids (MGs) in coordination with distribution system enables high penetration of locally available distributed energy resources (DERs). This approach enhances the reliability and resiliency of the power supply significantly. Also, the overall cost of energy gets reduced because of the integration of cost-free power from photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. The most effective utilization of DERs can be achieved through networked MGs. However, the implementation of the concepts of networked MGs requires extensive research. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the most important research works on networked MGs. Major benefits and challenges related to this new and highly exploring area have been analyzed. Also, some of the most important research areas related to networked MGs have been highlighted and discussed as the future perspectives.

网络化微电网：最新和未来的前景

多个微电网（MGs）与配电系统协同运行，可实现对本地可用分布式能源（DER）的高度渗透。这种方法大大提高了电源的可靠性和弹性。而且，由于集成了来自光伏面板和风力涡轮机的免费电力，能源的总成本得以降低。可以通过联网的MG来最有效地利用DER。然而，网络化MG的概念的实施需要大量的研究。本文介绍了有关网络MG的最重要研究工作的全面文献综述。分析了与这个新的且高度探索的领域相关的主要收益和挑战。还，
