Microgrids: How They Work
For electricity generation, microgrids typically use some combination of back-up diesel generators and renewables such as solar panels. Microgrids can incorporate battery systems to store
Microgrids: What are they and how do they work?
To meet the electricity demands of its users, a microgrid must have a generation source. Given that microgrids are an older concept, the electricity supplied to microgrids has

Policymakers were accustomed to an energy system based on big, centralized projects like nuclear or gas-fired power stations. A change of mindsets and incentives are bringing microgeneration into the mainstream. Planning regulations may also require streamlining to facilitate the retrofitting of microgenerating facilities onto homes and buildings.
