Market Overview

A microgrid is a unique energy system made up of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that can operate in parallel with, or independently of, the main power grid. Microgrids are small-scale power networks that transfer electricity from sources to consumers. They help to reduce overall expenses while also providing grid backup in the event of a power loss. Microgrids are more efficient than traditional power grids and can be connected with a range of renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, small hydro, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. A microgrid is an energy system that is self-sufficient and provides a specific geographic footprint, such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center, or community. They can also be powered by batteries, distributed generators, and solar panels. Furthermore, they are also a dependable source of electricity because they work continuously during power outages. In a microgrid component, generation, storage, and demand are all contained within a bounded and controlled network. It could be connected to the grid or not. Different end-users have different needs from their energy supply systems.
