Abstract—Power supply management is a critical problem in the operation of a distribution network, considering the causes of large power losses and interruptions in the main grid caused by the unknown connection of loads and DGs that affect power delivery to customers downstream of a distribution network. The above-mentioned problems can be reduced by the integration of microgrids close to load centers and developing a controller using adaptive control techniques to enhance reliable power supply. For this reason, this paper presents an intelligent method for distributed generators' energy control and power dispatch of microgrids integrated into a distribution network employing an Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The aim is to control distributed generators energy sources, loads, and power dispatch of grid-connected microgrids among multiconnected power sources to maintain a stable power supply without using any optimization techniques. The proposed intelligent ANFIS system is trained for power-sharing purposes and applied to the microgrid controllers. The mathematical modeling of distributed generators, system design, simulation, and testing of the proposed method were done using MATLAB/Simulink software. The results show that the proposed controller is capable of power dispatch and controls the energy harvest of distributed generators. Additionally, it can assign microgrid power source(s) to additional load(s) connected to the active distribution network without interruptions of power flow. The obtained results outperform similar works that used hybrid ANFISPID (Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System-Proportional- Integral-Derivative), PSO-ANFIS (Particle Swarm Optimization-Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System), and GA-ANFIS (Genetic Algorithm-Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) by automatically connecting and controlling distributed generators energy sources with effective power dispatch in mitigating downtime of grid power operations.
