Purpose. Research of existing modern scientific publications related to the criteria for selecting renewable generation sources for microgrids. Methods. The methodology of this review included a systematic analysis of the existing literature on renewable energy selection criteria for microgrids. A comprehensive search of academic databases, including IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, was conducted to identify relevant studies published between 2000 and 2023. The inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, and technical reports that addressed key factors influencing the selection of renewable generation sources for microgrids, such as economic viability, environmental impact, reliability, and grid integration. To ensure a balanced representation of different perspectives, the search included studies from different geographical regions and sectors, such as residential, commercial, and industrial microgrids. Publications were filtered based on relevance to specific microgrid applications. Results. The review revealed a significant research gap in the current literature on the selection of renewable energy sources for microgrids, especially in the context of Ukraine. While there is a large amount of research on general criteria for renewable energy selection and microgrid design, there is a noticeable lack of research that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in the Ukrainian region. These challenges are exacerbated by the ongoing war and the anticipated needs of post-war reconstruction, where energy infrastructure will play a critical role. Originality. The criteria for selecting renewable generation sources for microgrids were further developed by studying the latest research and publications on the topic. Practicality. The results demonstrate the need for a detailed study and formation of criteria for the selection of renewable generation sources for microgrids, taking into account regional characteristics and the security situation in Ukraine.
