From sustainability to economics, microgrids offer benefits for many businesses. A microgrid is a small electricity grid where electricity is produced, distributed and consumed. Microgrids can be independent from the main grid or connected to it.
Solar energy, while underexplored in Costa Rica compared to hydro and geothermal, has gained attention in recent literature. Smith and Paladino (2021) argue that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems offer a decentralized solution to complement hydro-heavy grids, reducing vulnerability to seasonal fluctuations.
While hydroelectric power dominates the energy mix at approximately 80% of electricity production, solar energy, though currently a smaller contributor, holds significant potential to diversify and stabilize the grid. This paper investigates Costa Rica's renewable energy journey, emphasizing solar power's evolving role.
Nowadays, 1.2 billion people lack access to electricity, mainly in rural areas of developing countries. In particular, 22 million people do not have electricity in Latin America and many governments are devel.

The development challenges of achieving zero-carbon microgrids can be summarized as follows: Compared to the cost of renewable power generation investment, the investment cost of energy storage is much higher. It is hard to build a zero-carbon microgrid in an economical way without cheap energy storage.
An isolated zero-carbon microgrid is powered exclusively by renewable energy sources. It utilizes energy storage technologies, such as long-duration batteries or hydrogen storage, to mitigate intermittency and ensure a reliable power supply, allowing it to meet demand even under conditions of low production or high variability.
Stability analysis and control techniques should be studied especially for the zero-carbon microgrid with grid-forming and grid-following converters. Large-scale low-price energy storage and the corresponding control techniques for feasibility, flexibility, and stability enhancement of the zero-carbon microgrids should be developed.
As discussed earlier, large-scale low-price energy storage plays an important role in achieving zero-carbon microgrids, including improving system feasibility, flexibility, and stability. However, such a kind of technology is still missing. Table 2 lists the power ranges and capital costs of PHES, CAES, HES, TES, LABES, and LIBES.
