Microgrid economics are shaped not just by project design, but by ongoing operational strategy. This session focuses on bridging the gap between modeling assumptions and real-world performance, addressing how systems can be dispatched and managed to maximize economic and resilience value over their lifecycle.
Discussion topics include:
• Feasibility modeling and scenario-based financial sensitivity testing
• Forecasting approaches for load, renewable output, and market interactions
• Optimization strategies to balance resilience, cost savings, and emissions goals
• Verification of economic performance over time through monitoring and reporting.

Participants will learn how upfront design decisions and operational planning work together to support sustained financial performance and value realization.
