A microgrid is a localized group of electricity sources and loads that can operate connected to the main grid or independently in island mode.
It integrates renewable energy, storage and loads for reliable local power.
Microgrids combine distributed energy resources (solar, wind, generators), energy storage and controllable loads. They normally operate connected to the main grid but can disconnect and run independently during outages, a feature called islanding.
A central controller manages generation, storage and demand to keep voltage and frequency stable in both modes.
