“…NASA's meteorological data were integrated into the HOMER software to evaluate the feasibility of renewable energy sources. In a separate article [101], the authors advocated for the modeling and optimization of a Hybrid Microgrid System (HMGS) featuring a net-metering compensation scheme, realized through a swarm-intelligence algorithm. Their study scrutinized the impact of varying net-metering compensation levels on cost-effectiveness, the proportion of renewable energy sources (RES), and the Loss of Load Probability (LOLP), employing real-world data from a region in Spain [101].…”

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.

“…This design requires a special type of power converter, the grid-tie inverter, which is fundamental to the system's operation. It investigated how these inverters perform in solar microgrids [17]. These grid-tie inverters convert DC to AC, allowing for the safe and efficient transmission of surplus energy back to the grid while assuring accurate alignment with the grid's AC voltage and phase [18][19][20].…”

This study addresses the critical challenges faced by the agricultural sector, particularly in greenhouse operations, by integrating renewable energy sources to achieve net-zero energy consumption. It explored the feasibility, design considerations, and impacts of implementing a sustainable grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system in greenhouses, using a case study located in Mashhad, Iran. This location was chosen due to its high solar radiation levels, making it an ideal setting for our research. Through simulations and analysis using HOMER software, an optimized PV system was designed that not only meets the energy demands of the greenhouse but also allows for the exchange of surplus energy with the grid, promoting energy efficiency and sustainability. Netzero energy has been achieved in the greenhouse by using the PV system and the net metering method. The findings highlight the potential for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel dependence, underscoring the economic and environmental benefits of incorporating solar energy into greenhouse agriculture.
