A microgrid is a mini-version of the electric grid, which fits the “micro” notion, but the origins of the word have been lost in history.
Microgrids are small-scale energy systems with distributed energy resources, such as generators and storage systems, and controllable loads forming an electrical entity within defined electrical limits. These systems can be deployed in either low voltage or high voltage and can operate independently of the main grid if necessary .
According to Pike Research, the first “modern industrial microgrid in the United States was a 64 MW facility constructed in 1955 at the Whitling Refinery in Indiana,” but most people are not aware the concept is much older. The microgrid concept dates back to the beginning of our industry.
According to Navigant Research, the majority of grid-tied microgrids today are owned and financed by facility owners, especially in the campus/institutional category. It is important to recognize that microgrids, especially community microgrids, can utilize the existing distribution system infrastructure, radically reducing their costs.
The development of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Microgrid Program Strategy started around December 2020.
