What Is a Microgrid?

But because microgrids are self-contained, they may operate in "island mode," meaning they function autonomously and deliver power on their own. They usually are comprised of several types of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, wind turbines, fuel cells and energy storage systems.
