Microgrids Provide Reliable Power During Emergencies and Help Decarbonize the Grid

Credit to Author: Aaron Larson| Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2023 17:58:17 +0000

Microgrids are localized power grids that can be disconnected from the traditional grid to operate autonomously. Because they are able to operate while the main grid is down, microgrids can strengthen resilience and help prevent grid disturbances. They also function as a reliable resource for faster system response and recovery. Microgrids enable the integration of […]
