This paper considers an optimal energy management problem for a network of interconnected microgrids. A model predictive control (MPC) approach is used to avoid capacity constraint violation and to cope with uncertainties of forecasted power demands. By employing a dual ascent method and a proximal alternative direction multiplier method (ADMM), respectively, two distributed methods are designed to allow every agent using only local information to determine its own optimal control decisions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified via numerical simulations.
