This paper proposes a combined model of hierarchical P2P energy trading model with an efficient energy management scheme, which improves the local renewable energy utilization instead of more dependency on the main central grid and also reduces the operation cost of all stack holders. . Microgrids as the main building blocks of smart grids are small scale power systems that facilitate the effective integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). In normal operation, the microgrid is connected to the main grid. These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity.
