4 FAQs about [The relationship between microgrid and large power grid is]

What happens if a microgrid is grid-connected?

If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

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.

What happens when a microgrid loses power?

When the main electric grid loses power, the microgrid goes into island mode (i.e., operates independently of the main electric grid) and serves its own customers with the generation and other DERs (i.e., batteries or vehicle-to-grid electric vehicles) operating within the microgrid.

How can microgrids improve customer reliability and resilience?

Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances. Advanced microgrids enable local power generation assets—including traditional generators, renewables, and storage—to keep the local grid running even when the larger grid experiences interruptions or, for remote areas, where there is no connection to the larger grid.
