A microgrid is a self-sufficient energy system that serves a discrete area, such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center, or neighborhood. Energy microgrids can be the pillar on which smart energy structures and smart grids, including energy systems using multiple energy carriers, will be based. They are usually powered by distributed energy including solar panels, wind turbines, and generators. Microgrids may be linked as a cluster or operated as stand-alone or isolated microgrid which only operates. Microgrids provide resilience, sustainability, and efficient energy solutions by leveraging onsite renewable generation with smart grid resources for better connectivity, decarbonization, and access to energy.
