In this paper, a cost/worth analysis framework is presented for determination of optimal reliability enhancement plan in multi-microgrid (MMG) distribution systems. In such systems, multiple microgrids exist within the distribution grid, and they are operated in close coordination in order to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the whole system. In this context, it is assumed that conventional and renewable distributed generation (DC) units are to be installed, and the optimal capacity of DC unit is determined such that distribution system annual social costs are minimized. Annual social costs include annualized investment costs, annual operating costs, annual revenues as well as annual customer interruption costs (CIC). Therefore, estimation procedure of different cost terms are introduced. Moreover, an appropriate framework based on sequential Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) approach is presented for calculation of CIC. According to this framework, different operating modes of MGs/sections are identified and operating measures are simulated. The presented framework is implemented on a test system, various DC installation scenarios are investigated and the results are discussed.
