The overarching vision for the
READ MOREWhat Is A Microgrid And How Does It Work. Generally, a microgrid is a set of distributed energy systems (DES) operating dependently or independently of a larger utility grid, providing flexible local power to improve reliability while leveraging renewable energy. The system can be configured to prioritize renewables, such as solar, wind, and
