If the microgrid is grid-connected (i., 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. . A microgrid is 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. Unlike traditional power systems that depend on a centralized grid, microgrids can operate independently, making them especially. . A microgrid, in short, is a localized energy system that can operate independently or in connection with the main electric grid.
