Microgrid Thinking

In the world of energy transmission and utility, a “microgrid” is an electrical grid that operates like a typical grid, but is smaller and more modular.

When we talk about electrical grids, we’re talking about all the energy generation elements (power plants, solar arrays, etc), the cables and related infrastructure that gets energy from where it’s produced to where it’s ultimately consumed, and the stuff in between that moderates the strength of energy transmission in various ways (amplifyin...
