Several microgeneration set-ups are possible. These are: Off-the grid set-ups without energy storage (e.g., battery, ...) Off-the grid set-ups with energy storage (e.g., battery, ...) All set-ups mentioned can work either on a single power plant or a combination of power plants (in which case it is called a hybrid power system).
Microgeneration can be integrated as part of a self-sufficient house and is typically complemented with other technologies such as domestic food production systems (permaculture and agroecosystem), rainwater harvesting, composting toilets or even complete greywater treatment systems.
Most forms of microgeneration can dynamically balance the supply and demand for electric power, by producing more power during periods of high demand and high grid prices, and less power during periods of low demand and low grid prices.
