Where can electrical utilities test microgrid concepts?

Electrical utilities have begun testing microgrid concepts in laboratory-type settings. One example is Duke Energy, which maintains two test microgrid facilities: one in Gaston County, North Carolina , and one in Charlotte, North Carolina .

Will grid-tied microgrid customers stay connected if the grid fails?

Although grid-tied microgrid customers will likely stay connected to the grid for the foreseeable future, only islanding in the case of utility grid failure, self-consumption of microgrid generated energy could erode the revenue base that has traditionally paid for utility infrastructure investments.

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

Microgrids can be classified as Closed Distribution Systems or Energy Communities. Microgrids are decentralised electricity systems that can operate independently of the main electricity network, and which have the potential to contribute to the energy transition towards a more sustainable energy mix.
