Abstract:

This study presents a comprehensive review of networked micro-grid (NMG) operations under the transactive energy paradigm. Specifically, we aimed to identify and analyze the key aspects of transactive NMG models, including operational scenarios, ownership models, transactive operation designs, prosumer behavior, and business models. This is accompanied by a review of real-world applications and analysis of current research trends. With several research gaps identified, this study provides different views on the challenges in mathematical modeling and real-world deployment of NMG.
