%X Currently, microgrid clusters (MGC) are being increasingly used owing to their benefits and human needs. MGs can be composed of power generation, consumption, and storage elements. They permit the combination of DC and AC technologies, even for a single microgrid (MG). In this paper, a new control system of a MGC consisting of two MGs connected to the main grid is developed. One of them is a DC MG that is composed of a wind turbine (WT), electrolyzer (EZ), ultracapacitor (UC), fuel cell (FC) and DC loads. The other MG is an AC MG, which is made up of a PV generator, a battery bank and AC loads. The MGC is tested under different working conditions in an experimental setup composed of a Raspberry Pi
microcontroller, an OPAL-RT 4510 unit and a PC host. The experimental setup allows the system to run in real time and validate the results obtained. Finally, the control system implemented in the MGC exhibits a correct behaviour under different conditions, according to the results obtained.
