Microgrid
Microgrids are small low voltage systems with distributed power supplies, storage and controlled loads. They are connected to the main electricity grid in a controlled and coordinated manner or operate as an island. Microgrid operation benefits customers and utilities by improving energy efficiency, reducing transmission and distribution losses, improving reliability, reducing environmental impact, expanding the network with operational benefits and a more cost-effective replacement of electrical infrastructure.
