Abstract
Microgrids are emerging to coordinate distributed energy resources and locally increase reliability to expected events and resilience to extreme events. Furthermore, by deploying their inherent flexibility, grid-connected microgrids are capable to provide different services at the system-level too. However, these are often assessed independently and a comprehensive integrated framework that can assess benefits for the whole power system is missing. In this outlook, this paper introduces a system-level assessment framework based on the concept of different duration's reserve services that can be provided by microgrids to the main electricity grid in response to both credible (reliability-orie..
