This paper presents a framework for the management of distributed energy resources (DER) in interruption-prone distribution grids, considering the formation of non-isolated microgrids in medium voltage feeders. A rule-based algorithm is developed to dispatch the microgrid-forming DER, given a set of power and reliability constraints, to ensure the continuity of supply for the customers within the microgrid. The proposed DER dispatch approach can be used as a reference for DER operators in networks where the distribution system operator (DSO) is responsible for a day ahead reliability assessment and where the DER has capacity contracts with the DSO under islanded operation. A real medium voltage feeder with low reliability is used to test the approach in a simulation environment, considering photovoltaic plants with battery storage as microgrid-forming DER
