READ MOREA microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can be operated independently or in combination with the area''s main electrical grid. Any small-scale localized station that has its own power resources, generation and loads and definable boundaries can be qualified as a microgrid. Microgrids can be intended as back-up power or to support the
