READ MOREMicrogrids are self-contained energy networks which can either be connected to the main grid or separate from it. They can also be both of those things, allowing a community or critical facility like a hospital or emergency shelter to disconnect from the grid when there''s an outage, for example. Increasingly, clean or renewable
READ MORE1.1 Background. Generally, a microgrid can be defined as a local energy district that incorporates electricity, heat/cooling power, and other energy forms, and can work in connection with the traditional wide area synchronous grid (macrogrid) or "isolated mode" [].The flexible operation pattern makes the microgrid become an effective and
