A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode." Or, putting it differently, a microgrid is a system of energy sources, energy consumers, and energy storage. This system can operate completely independently from the traditional centralized power grid (macrogrid) in "island

READ MOREMicrogrids. Microgrids are electric power systems that let a community make its own power without drawing from the larger electric grid. During an emergency, microgrids can disconnect from the wider grid, keeping the lights on through events that affect power generation and transmission. Microgrids can serve an area as small as a
READ MOREA microgrid is a local energy production and distribution network that can function independently when it is disconnected from the main electricity grid in the event of a crisis such as a black out or a storm, or simply to supplement peaks in demand from the microgrids users and thereby avoid higher energy costs. These small grids serve a
