From page 28...
... 28 The varied factors, costs, and benefits of installing microgrids make any estimate difficult without first completing a feasibility study. Capital costs include system design, isolation and stability controls, and equipment costs, which vary depending on the design requirements, scale, and configuration of the system.

From page 30...
... 30 Microgrids and Their Application for Airports and Public Transit Given that microgrid deployment is still in an early stage of development, limited information exists on these systems' true operating costs and associated payback periods. Additionally, the modularity and variability of configurations make calculating an overall ROI for all microgrids virtually impossible (Asmus and Lawrence 2016)
