Abstract
Microgrids integrate distributed energy resources into an energy network reliably and efficiently. However, research of real-world examples at the international level is limited. We conduct a morphological analysis for microgrid design options to examine the status quo of academic literature. We identify 18 dimensions with 60 characteristics divided into the five layers governance, business, intelligence, communication, and physical. Subsequently, we classify 30 real-world microgrids with diverse types and locations using our morphological box. Our analysis reveals future research requirements regarding social aspects, business models, critical success factors, and maturity levels. We provide a framework supporting decision-makers to identify microgrid design options and promote socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable, resilient, and decentralized energy supply.

N1 - Funding Information: Governance Layer: MGs can be deployed to achieve various objectives, including economic, social, environmental, and technological objectives that are not contradictory (Immonen et al. 2020; Danish et al. 2019). According to Marnay et al. (2015), MGs can either be owned by a DNO, a customer or a consortium of customers, or independent parties. Besides, MGs are often funded and supported by the government or are the subject of a research project (Sachs et al. 2019).
