P2P energy trading among isolated microgrids in the remote area by Huang, Rui

“…Secondly, to eliminate the load imbalance caused by the difference of each MG's power generation, a network framework for each MG in the MMG system to conduct P2P energy trading activity has been established. Combining with the emission standard of carbon allowance, the incentive mechanism of each MG is set to improve the robustness of the model and the rationality of each MG while trading. …”
