Microgrid System
Island Microgrid: It is a small-scale microgrid which is fully detached from the main grids and generates power independently. Renewable energy sources are being added to operate this

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."
A microgrid typically uses one or more distributed energy sources (solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat and power, gas or diesel
