Microgrid

A microgrid is a small-scale energy system that can operate independently or in connection with the main power grid. It typically includes local energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, or backup generators, along with energy storage such as batteries. Microgrids provide reliable power to a specific area, like a neighborhood, campus, or facility, especially during grid outages. They enhance energy resilience, enable the use of renewable resources, and can reduce costs. Essentially, a microgrid is a localized, flexible energy network designed to ensure consistent power supply and improve energy management.
