After a 5-year journey, the European energy initiative TIGON has delivered real-world validation of high-voltage, hybrid microgrids that can slash energy losses, improve resilience, and accelerate the shift to decentralised power. . This website provides an overview of existing and developing micro electricity grids in the European Union. A microgrid is a decentralised grid which can disconnect from the main electricity grid and structure it into 'local sub-grids that manage their power and energy balancing. ' [1] The three. . U. As renewable energy adoption grows, the ageing, centralised electricity grid. . Microgrids comprise Low Voltage distribution systems with distributed energy sources, storage devices and controllable loads, operated connected to the main power network or islanded, in a controlled, coordinated way.
