  Large-scale successful integration of microgeneration, together with active
loads, energy storage devices, and energy scheduling strategies, requires the
extensive adoption of advanced information and communication technologies
(ICTs) at the distribution network level; this brings so-called Cyber-Physical
Multi-MicroGrid (CPMMG) systems into the picture. However, as such ICTs are not
failure-free, their integration affects the system's operation and adequacy. To
quantify how cyber failures influence a CPMMG system, this study proposes an
adequacy framework based on sequential Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). In the
proposed framework, the typical structure of a CPMMG is exemplified, and the
consequences of various cyber failures in this system are explained. Possible
operation modes -- normal, island, joint, and shutdown modes -- are then
explained and modeled. Finally, the adequacy index Expected Energy Not Served
(EENS) is computed based on the proposed methodology, and two new adequacy
indices are proposed: Interrupted but Gained Compensation (IbGC) and Supplied
by Expensive Resources (SbER). A comprehensive case study is conducted to
reveal the salient features of the proposed framework.
