Abstract
Transactive systems are a novel paradigm for managing distributed energy resources and enabling peer-to-peer transactions in smart grids. These systems require efficient and reliable communication protocols to exchange data and signals among different agents and devices. In this chapter, some of the most prominent protocols for transactive systems, such as message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT), constrained application protocol (CoAP), extensible messaging presence protocol (XMPP), advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP), and data distribution service (DDS) are reviewed. The exploration begins with an in-depth analysis of MQTT and CoAP, considering their lightweight nature, asynchronous capabilities, and applicability in transactive systems. This chapter delves into how these protocols foster edge computing paradigms, where data processing occurs closer to the source, reducing latency and enhancing overall system efficiency. Security is a paramount concern in transactive systems, and the study investigates the encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms inherent in MQTT, CoAP, and other relevant protocols. This exploration aims to secure sensitive data, guaranteeing the integrity and confidentiality of communications within transactive IoT ecosystems. Real-time communication forms a cornerstone of transactive systems. It navigates through the nuances of each protocol, considering their efficacy and trade-offs in scenarios demanding real-time responsiveness. To provide tangible insights, this chapter incorporates case studies and real-life implementations, showcasing how MQTT, CoAP, and other protocols have been successfully employed in diverse transactive IoT applications. In conclusion, this chapter consolidates its findings, highlighting the pivotal role of communication protocols in the reliability and scalability of transactive systems. It offers practical recommendations for implementing these protocols in real-world applications, providing valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals seeking to optimize communication in transactive IoT deployments. The study also identifies emerging trends that may shape the future evolution of communication protocols in the dynamic landscape of transactive systems.
