4 FAQs about [Microgrid itself]

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode. Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances.

Are microgrids self-contained?

But because microgrids are self-contained, they can operate in “island mode,” meaning they function autonomously and deliver power on their own. They usually consist of several types of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, wind turbines, fuel cells and energy storage systems.

What makes a microgrid unique?

From our experiences at Mayfield Renewables, we'll stipulate that most microgrids share these four features – all within a defined boundary: Distributed energy resources (DERs): local (on-site) energy storage and generation sources that can function independently from the centralized, bulk power supply infrastructure.

What happens if a microgrid is grid-connected?

If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.
