A microgrid consists of several electric power generators that supply electricity and heat to a group of customers. Microgrids can be consist of a limited number of residential homes that are interconnected with each other and form an isolated power system independent from the large utility grid. A microgrid technique is effective backup power supply during an emergency, peak cut of power plants, or exhaust heat utilization. Besides of it, when renewable energy is connected to a microgrid, there is potential to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas discharge. Microgrid is a small-scale power supply network that is designed to provide power for a small community. It enables local power generation for local loads, and comprises of various small power generating sources that make it highly flexible and efficient.
