Most of the time when people talk about microgrids, they talk about reliability (e.g., for a hospital or other critical load) and renewables. When people talk about renewables, they often talk about storage (e.g., to maximize the output of a rooftop solar array). And when people talk about storage, they often refer to enhancing reliability.
Of course there’s more to microgrids, storage and renewables than this circular conversation, and the key is economics (aka, a business case).
