Microgrids: Independent local power grids | Elektor Magazine
The residents of the Faroe Islands have set up their own microgrid. A microgrid is an autonomous local network of distributed power sources and loads. It can operate either independently (island mode) or connected to the main power grid. When linked to the main power grid, it can supply or receive power. An important property of a microgrid is that it acts as a
