The United States Department of Energy Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode."
At its core, a microgrid is a small, local utility grid using DERs to supply critical loads. The goal of a microgrid is to control and monitor the
Without large infrastructure to maintain or repair, a microgrid is effectively hardened against storms or natural disasters. Microgrid technology can also integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) into
