How to identify Microgrid benefits? Identification of Microgrid benefit is both a problem of Microgrid design (i.e. siting and sizing of micro-sources) and a problem of Microgrid scheduling (i.e. real-time operation). Network planning (design, with impact on reliability) and network operation (scheduling) are no longer decoupled procedures for a
