A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid.2 A microgrid can operate in either grid-connected or in island mode, including entirely of-grid applications. Figure 1 shows one example of a microgrid.

READ MORENREL has been involved in the modeling, development, testing, and deployment of microgrids since 2001. A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode.
