Networked microgrids (NMGs) are clusters of microgrids that are physically connected and functionally interoperable. The massive and unprecedented deployment of smart grid technologies, new business models, and involvement of new stakeholders enable NMGs to be a conceptual operation paradigm for future distribution systems. Much work needs to be done, however, to enable NMGs to achieve seamless coordination, including physical, communication, and functional integration. In this paper, we review and summarize the state-of-the-art methodologies for operation and control of NMGs. We also specifically discuss the notion of dynamic boundaries for advanced microgrid applications. In addition, we introduce the opportunities, challenges, and possible solutions regarding NMGs for improving grid resilience, robustness, and efficiency.
