The deployment of number of microgrids connectedto an electricity grid is increasing every day. These energydistricts with their control system are the intelligent nodesof future electricity grids; therefore, strategies for managingthese new systems must be developed and proposed. This paperpresents a novel coalitional economic model predictive controlstrategy for managing a microgrid community. Because coalitionalcontrol considers the dynamic variation of coalitions ofagents, a cooperative n-personal game with economic aspectsoccurs to decide which coalition to build, where the optimalcontrol strategy to solve for each of these coalitions also takesplace. Furthermore, an example proposes an economic criterionfor using both the cooperative game and the control strategy foreach coalition. Finally, some results on coalition formation arepresented for the example described above.Index Terms—Cooperative n-personal games, Game theory,Value of Shapley, Coalitional control, Model predictive control
