The identification of microgrid benefits is a multi‐objective and multi‐stakeholder interest coordination task. Due to the comparatively large number of different assumptions that could impact microgrid benefits, a basic standard test condition (STC) is defined to evaluate microgrid benefits under a "most likely to happen" scenario.

READ MOREAbstract. Microgrids are self-sufficient energy ecosystems designed to tackle the energy challenges of the 21st century. A microgrid is a controllable local energy grid that serves a discrete geographic footprint such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center, or neighborhood. It connects to the grid at a point of common coupling
