What are Microgrids? Definition, How They Work, and Reliability
At its core, a microgrid is a small, local utility grid using DERs to supply critical loads. The goal of a microgrid is to control and monitor the sources so as to establish a stable frequency and
What Are Microgrids?
In simple terms, a microgrid is a portion of the distribution grid with its own power sources that can connect and disconnect from the grid.

A zero-emission microgrid serving roughly 5,000 people in Calistoga, Napa County, California. The distribution-level microgrid infrastructure is owned by utility, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, and is powered by the Calistoga Resiliency Center facility. The facility is a First of a Kind commercial-scale project coupling a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with onsite liquid hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells to power Calistoga for up to 48 hours.
