What is a microgrid?
The microgrid controller, a critical component of the microgrid system, must manage and optimize the operation of diverse power sources in real-time, which can be complex. Regulatory

A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode. Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances.
How long your microgrid can supply load depends on how many loads it's serving. In a partial facility backup design, the loads that the facility cannot do without during an outage can be aggregated separately from loads the facility operator might afford to leave unpowered.
The size of the microgrid will also depend on how many buildings and other end uses (i.e., load) are connected within the microgrid (impacting distribution equipment and cables needed) and how much power these buildings/end uses will need to consume (impacting the type and size of generation and storage needed).
Microgrids are complex systems that require specialized skills to operate and maintain. Microgrids include controls and communication systems that contain cybersecurity risks. A 2018 study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that microgrids in the Continental U.S. cost an average of $2 million-$5 million per megawatt.
