Number of customers: Microgrids can serve a single building, multiple customers in a limited geographic area, or customers across an entire community. . Microgrids are localized grids that can disconnect from the traditional grid to operate autonomously. Because they are able to operate while the main grid is down, microgrids can strengthen grid resilience and help mitigate grid disturbances as well as function as a grid resource for faster system. . Microgrids are relatively small, controllable power systems composed of one or more generation units connected to nearby users that can be operated with, or independently from, the local bulk (i. high-voltage) transmission system, sometimes referred to as the “macrogrid. Traditional utility grids and microgrids serve the same purpose: to provide electrical power to end-users.
