A microgrid is a small-scale, local energy system that can disconnect from the traditional utility grid and operate independently. The ability to break off and keep working autonomously means a microgrid can serve as a sophisticated backup power system during grid repairs or other emergencies that lead to widespread power outages. Without any large infrastructure to maintain or repair, a microgrid is effectively hardened against storms or natural disasters.
 

HOW DOES A MICROGRID WORK?

The grid connects homes, businesses and other buildings to central power sources, which allow us to use appliances, heating/cooling systems and electronics.

A microgrid generally operates while connected to the grid, but importantly, it can break off and operate on its own using local energy generation in times of crisis like storms or power outages, or for other reasons.

A microgrid can be powered by distributed generators, batteries, and/or renewable resources like solar panels. Depending on how it’s fueled and how its requirements are managed, a microgrid might run indefinitely.

Benefits of Microgrids 

Provide efficient, low-cost, clean energy.

Improve the operation and stability of the regional electric grid.

Critical infrastructure that increases reliability and resilience.

Reduce grid “congestion” and peak loads.

Enable highly-efficient CHP, reducing fuel use, line losses, and carbon footprint.
