Socio-Economic Aspects of Microgrid Application in Russia

The paper substantiates the composition and choice of a microgrid for settlements in the Central European part of Russia that are not connected to centralized public electricity networks. An economic analysis of microgrid costs in comparison with traditional methods of power supply (diesel, power lines) has been carried out. The economic advantages of using microgrid are shown both from the point of view of customers and the state in providing the availability of electricity for the population.
