Microgrid Overview
Definition: An intelligent energy system optimizing operation
of electrical loads and distributed power sources, including
renewables, connected to the utility grid or islanded
Benefits:
• Increases Energy Efficiency
• Reduces fuel consumption
• Simplifies renewable integration
• Decreases electricity cost (peak shaving)
