microgrid systems

A microgrid is a small, localized energy system that can operate independently or alongside the main power grid. It typically includes sources like solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and sometimes traditional power generators. Microgrids provide reliable electricity to specific communities, campuses, or facilities, especially during power outages or emergencies. They enhance energy resilience, reduce reliance on centralized grids, and can integrate renewable energy sources for cleaner power. Essentially, microgrids are self-contained energy hubs that improve local energy management, reliability, and sustainability.
