A microgrid is a localized energy system that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid. It typically consists of a variety of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Microgrids can support local energy needs, improve energy resilience, and provide benefits like reduced energy costs, increased renewable energy utilization, and enhanced grid stability.
