Intelligent energy management of coordinated community microgrid systems using metaheuristic optimization and deep learning.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper presents an intelligent energy control framework for interconnected community microgrids, integrating metaheuristic optimization with deep learning for optimal dispatch in three configurations: (i) independent grid-connected microgrids, (ii) coordinated grid-connected multi-microgrid systems (MMGs), and (iii) islanded MMGs. The unified modelling approach enables consistent evaluation of operational performance, resource utilization, and cost efficiency under identical assumptions. The proposed strategy is validated through simulations in a Python-based environment using one-day operational data (96 × 15-minute intervals) for three community microgrids. Comparative results demonstrate that coordinated grid-connected operation (Case 2) achieves up to 18.77% reduction in total electricity cost compared to independent operation (Case 1), primarily due to effective inter-microgrid power exchange and optimized resource allocation. The GWO achieved the lowest electricity cost (2260.50) in coordinated grid-connected operation, outperforming ABC by 26.75% and the DL framework by 8.44%, with ANOVA and Friedman tests confirming significant performance differences. Although the islanded MMG configuration (Case 3) incurs slightly higher costs, it eliminates dependency on the main utility grid, enhancing system resilience against market volatility and supply disruptions. Operational analysis shows that coordination improves renewable energy utilization, reduces peak grid transactions, and balances battery charging/discharging patterns. In islanded mode, a combination of battery energy storage and inter-microgrid exchange ensures reliable supply–demand balance without external support, demonstrating the feasibility of self-sufficient, resilient MMG architectures. The proposed methodology offers a scalable and adaptive solution for optimizing distributed energy resources in interconnected microgrid environments, supporting both cost minimization and resilience enhancement. This work can be extended to multi-day horizons, integrate dynamic market pricing, incorporate electric vehicle charging strategies, and assess fault-tolerant performance under adverse operating conditions.
