Abstract (EN): Exploiting the benefit that one can get from large scale integration of microgeneration (mu G) requires the adoption of different control strategies at different distribution network levels. In that sense, MicroGrid (MG) and Multi MicroGrids (MMG) concepts may be seen as a way to facilitate integration of higher levels of mu G into the system. This paper describes new control and management functionalities used to take profit from the presence of microgeneration and active loads under MG and MMG concepts. MultiCriteria Decision Aid (MCDA) techniques are used to capture decision maker's preferences in evaluating the impact of MG and MMG concepts deployment and help selecting the best development strategy.
