What Is a Microgrid?

The U.S. Department of Energy 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. 1 Microgrids can work in conjunction with more traditional large-scale power grids, known as macrogrids, which are
