The increased importance of the distributed energy resources (DERs) is a consequence of this transition. Nowadays microgrids are used to meet resiliency and CO2 emissions reductions but the deployment is rare due to lack of regulation and bad return on investment. The aim of this work is to analyse two possible configurations of a microgrid at the Researchpark Zellik and to demonstrate which one is the best from an economical point of view with use of the LCOE. The two configurations are the connected-to-grid configuration and the island configuration. ER -
