Microgrids are useful in both grid-connected and off-grid form. In grid connected form, microgrid improves grid resiliency, high power quality and increased self consumption. In off-grid form, microgrid provides access to power in remote areas, increases power quality, reduces environmental impacts and can be deployed in low cost.
