Microgrid

Information

• A microgrid is a small-scale electrical system that can operate independently or in conjunction with a larger grid.
• Microgrids are typically designed to supply power to a specific geographic area or to serve a particular set of customers.
• A microgrid typically includes various distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels, wind turbines, energy storage systems, and backup generators.
• Microgrids can operate in "island mode," which means they can disconnect from the main grid and operate autonomously in the event of a power outage or other disruption.
• Microgrids can be used to provide reliable, resilient, and clean energy to a variety of applications, including homes, businesses, industrial facilities, and military installations.
• Advanced microgrid management systems use real-time data and analytics to optimize energy use and reduce costs, while also providing greater control over energy supply and demand.
• Microgrids can play an important role in transitioning to a more sustainable, decentralized energy system, by enabling the integration of renewable energy resources and reducing dependence on centralized fossil fuel power plants.
