Microgrid economics works particularly well for certain customers when the system includes combined heat and power (CHP). With CHP, microgrids for hospitals, nursing homes, and recreational community centers become "a marriage made in heaven," Sathe said. "It''s two for one. The facility gets electricity, puts the heat byproduct to good
