Microgrids are an emerging technology that offers many benefits compared with traditional power grids, including increased reliability, reduced energy costs, improved energy security, environmental benefits, and increased flexibility. However, several challenges are associated with microgrid technology, including high capital costs, technical complexity, regulatory challenges, interconnection issues, maintenance, and operation requirements. Through an in-depth analysis of various research areas and technical aspects of microgrid development, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the strategies and technologies required to overcome these challenges. By assessing the current state of microgrid development in Pakistan and drawing lessons from international best practices, our research highlights the unique opportunities microgrids present for tackling energy poverty, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable economic growth. Ultimately, this research article contributes to the growing knowledge of microgrids and their role in addressing global sustainability issues. It offers practical recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and local communities in Pakistan and beyond.

The deployment of isolated microgrids has witnessed exponential growth globally, especially in the light of prevailing challenges faced by many larger power grids. However, these isolated microgrids remain separate entities, thus limiting their potential to significantly impact and improve the stability, efficiency, and reliability of the broader electrical power system. Thus, to address this gap, the concept of interconnected smart transactive microgrids (ISTMGs) has arisen, facilitating the interconnection of these isolated microgrids, each with its unique attributes aimed at enhancing the performance of the broader power grid system. Furthermore, ISTMGs are expected to create more robust and resilient energy networks that enable innovative and efficient mechanisms for energy trading and sharing between individual microgrids and the centralized power grid. This paradigm shift has sparked a surge in research aimed at developing effective ISTMG networks and mechanisms. Thus, in this paper, we present a review of the current state-of-the-art in ISTMGs with a focus on energy trading, energy management systems (EMS), and optimization techniques for effective energy management in ISTMGs. We discuss various types of trading, architectures, platforms, and stakeholders involved in ISTMGs. We proceed to elucidate the suitable applications of EMS within such ISTMG frameworks, emphasizing its utility in various domains. This includes an examination of optimization tools and methodologies for deploying EMS in ISTMGs. Subsequently, we conduct an analysis of current techniques and their constraints, and delineate prospects for future research to advance the establishment and utilization of ISTMGs.

The constant depletion of the existing energy sources and their environmental effects have generated interest in employing renewable energy sources to power water pumping systems, such as solar‐photovoltaic. The research addresses the optimal photovoltaic (PV) power output, solar radiation, operating head, and tilt angle for maximum solar energy used to capture more solar radiation for solar water pumping for irrigation purposes. In order to get the best performance from the solar PV water pump, such as discharge (Q), hydraulic power (PH), pump efficiency (ήp), and overall efficiency (ήo), the design of experiments‐based response surface methodology was implemented in this work. The data required for the RSM model were obtained from the experimental work performed at location 28.67° N, 77.21° E, Delhi, India. The experiments performed at five different ranges of input variables PV power output (4000, 4250, 4500, 4750, and 5000 W), Solar radiation (200, 350, 500, 650, and 800 W/m2), operating head (15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 m) Tilt angle (5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, and 25°). The best output parameters The best conditions for a solar PV water pump (16.8 m3/h discharge, 1.85 kW hydraulic power, 81.15% pump efficiency, and 16.12% overall efficiency) were discovered to be Po 5000 W, SA 260 W/m2, Head 35 m, and TA 19°. The predicted result was validated using an RSM‐based solution, and the error% was found to be within acceptable limits (>5%). The desirability 0.963 of the model was indicating the good solution.
