They are composed of interconnected microgrids with a variety of power generation sources, loads, and storage devices. Microgrid clusters can also combine DC and AC technologies, even within a single microgrid. In this work, a new energy management system is developed for a microgrid cluster consisting of two microgrids connected to the main grid. The proposed energy management system, acting as the centralized control layer in the microgrid cluster, is based on a fuzzy-logic algorithm. The microgrid cluster consists of an AC microgrid integrating a photovoltaic generator, a battery bank and AC loads; and a DC microgrid composed of a wind turbine, electrolyzer, ultracapacitor, fuel cell and DC loads. The microgrid cluster is tested under different working conditions, such as variable wind speed and solar irradiance, and connection and disconnection of the loads. Finally, the energy management system implemented in the microgrid cluster exhibits a correct behaviour under different conditions, according to the results obtained.}, organization = {This work was partially supported by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Agencia Estatal de Investigación, FEDER, UE (Grant PID2021-123633OB-C32 supported by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/FEDER, UE).}, publisher = {IEEE}, keywords = {Energy management system}, keywords = {Fuzzy-logic}, keywords = {Microgrid clusters}, title = {Intelligent Control Algorithm for Power Balance Between Microgrids}, doi = {10.1109/ONCON60463.2023.10431261}, author = {Carrasco González, David and Sarrias Mena, Raúl and Horrillo Quintero, Pablo and Llorens Iborra, Francisco and Fernández Ramírez, Luis Miguel}, }
