Abrégé

Methods and systems for evaluating economic viability of a proposed microgrid, including uncertain variables are disclosed. One or more candidate distributed energy resources can be selected for use within a proposed microgrid. An investment cost and an operation cost of the one or more candidate distributed energy resources can be determined. A cost of drawing power from a main power grid can be compared to a sum of the investment cost and the operation cost of the one or more candidate distrib - uted energy resources. The proposed microgrid can be identified for installation when the sum of the investment cost and the opera- tion cost is less than the cost of drawing power from the main power grid.
