Shared energy storage provides a promising solution for the operation of microgrid clusters. This paper explores a hybrid electric–hydrogen shared energy storage model within microgrid clusters, aiming for clean energy generation and economical energy supply despite renewable energy’s unpredictability and complex stakeholder interactions. First, the proposed method features a shared energy storage operator that hosts electric storage and power-to-gas, enabling multi-microgrids energy sharing. To address market dynamics, a hybrid game theory approach using Nash bargaining and Stackelberg games is employed to manage interactions among the shared energy storage operator, microgrid operators, and internal end-users, while accounting for their differing interests. Second, to address uncertainty in renewable energy output, a distributionally robust optimization model is implemented with conditional value at risk, focusing on risk in extreme scenarios. The Adaptive Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers algorithm and Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions are used to solve the optimal decision scheme for each entity. Finally, a case study is used to verify the model’s effectiveness. Simulation results show that hybrid electric–hydrogen energy sharing improves resource utilization, leading to significant revenue increases for microgrids and higher profitability for shared energy storage operator. The game-theory-based approach ensures equitable revenue distribution and a 9.86% increase in coalition revenue. It provides a flexible approach to balance economic efficiency and system robustness by allowing decision-makers to adjust risk preference parameters and use historical sample data for informed decision-making.
