A microgrid is a building or campus electric distribution infrastructure with local generation sources which can be disconnected from the utility grid. Microgrid generation sources can include solar, wind, energy storage and even Combined Heat & Power (CHP). In the years to come, microgrids will transform the electric grid, as they are managed from the bottom-up instead of the more traditional top-down approach. Clients are quickly realizing they can have greater control of their building and campus utility infrastructure, giving them flexibility and independence, while saving operational costs.
