A microgrid is a small-scale energy system that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid. It typically includes local energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, and can provide electricity to a specific area, like a neighborhood or a campus. Microgrids enhance energy reliability and can reduce dependence on traditional power sources. These systems can also improve energy efficiency and support the integration of renewable energy. In times of power outages or emergencies, a microgrid can disconnect from the main grid and continue to supply power locally. This capability makes microgrids valuable for enhancing energy resilience in communities.
