This paper gives a hierarchical control strategy of multi-microgrids. The hierarchical control structure is made up with microgrid center controller (MGCC), microgrid controller (MC), generator controller (GC), load controller (LC). Controllers recognize the current operation mode of microgrids according to state trigger event and local operation state, realize transition of operation state. Controller is controlled by the upper controller, but once the communication among controllers is interrupted, MC can operate normally according to its local operation state. Thus, the MCs have a certain independence. The simulation platform is built-up by Netlogo for simulation of controller logic and communication coordination mechanism, OpenDSS for modeling distribution network and multi-microgrids, and matlab for data transmission and control optimization. With the simulation platform, this paper analyzed the characteristics of power regulation and different state transitions of multi-microgrids. Through verification, the strategy is available to realize operation state transition of multi-microgrids, guarantee stability of multi-microgrids under every operation state. Besides, compared with centralized control, it has better control effect and it has faster response.
