Valuing Resilience Benefits of Microgrids for an Interconnected Island Distribution System

Extreme climate-driven events such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires are becoming more intense in areas exposed to these threats, requiring approaches improve the resilience of electrical infrastructure serving communities. Long-duration outages caused by high impact propagate economic, health, social consequences for As essential service providers, electric utilities mandated provide safe, economical reliable electricity their customers. The public is less tolerant frequent disruptions, especially view technological advances that intended power quality, reliability resilience. One promising solution state-of-the-art microgrids advanced controls employed therein. This paper presents demonstrates an approach technoeconomic analysis can be used value avoided economic grid investments, applied islands Vieques Culebra Puerto Rico. valuation methodology support policies incorporate into any investment decision-making process, those which serve interest.
