Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2023, vol. 171, issue C

Abstract: This study aims to perform a systematic review with research indicators on microgrids (MGs) and transactive energy (TE) to identify the evolution of scientific productions in this field and analyze the interactions involving the utility and prosumers in MGs. The research indicators proved that the interest in MGs is growing in numerous countries whose concern is to seek alternative energy generation with renewable energy sources (RES) to supply an increasing demand for energy production and reduce the impacts of atmospheric pollutants. Moreover, the insertion of blockchain technology in the energy market can provide significant advances in the commercialization of electric energy, enabling virtual transactions to be conducted in a decentralized and secure way, managing numerous smart contracts, and contributing reasonably to introducing prosumers in energy transactions in MGs. This systematic review enabled us to shed more light and direct the study methodology to answer the questions surrounding this research. The aspects found explore concepts similar to the characteristics of TE and MGs exposed in the review of indicators. It was possible to perceive that the research strategy was successfully employed and has considerable academic significance, especially in this theme. Additionally, a new approach to the topic was presented by analyzing the interactions of prosumers and utility. The sustainable aspect related to MGs communities is highlighted because of the self-supply of smart homes and the use of RES.
