Microgrids are integrated energy systems consisting of interconnected loads and energy resources that can operate in isolation, or “islanded,” from the local utility grid and can function as a stand-alone system. Due to the networked nature of the microgrid, these systems offer improved energy security, reliability, and adaptability over current solutions that rely on dedicated back-up generators. ESTCP is evaluating and demonstrating microgrid components, control systems, and design tools to improve interoperability and reduce life-cycle costs.
