READ MOREMicrogrids and Hybrid Power Generation. A microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently (island mode) of the mains (or macrogrid), as well as in conjunction with the grid (grid mode) to supply backup or supplementary power. Any small-scale, localized power station that has its own generation and storage
