Microgrid Technology: What Is It and How It Works?
Hybrid systems utilize continuous duty energy storage (such as a battery energy storage system) and distributed energy resources, including renewable energy, to have immediately available power and are "always on" in contrast to a stranded asset, such as a diesel generator. Gensets are not a backup power source that is in continuous operation.

Microgrid
A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [2] [3] A ''stand-alone microgrid'' or ''isolated microgrid'' only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [4]Very small microgrids are called nanogrids.

An Introduction to Microgrids and Energy Storage
10 SO WHAT IS A "MICROGRID"? •A microgrid is a small power system that has the ability to operate connected to the larger grid, or by itself in stand-alone mode. •Microgrids may be small, powering only a few buildings; or large, powering entire neighborhoods, college campuses, or
Energy Storage for Microgrids
Energy storage enables microgrids to respond to variability or loss of generation sources. A variety of considerations need to be factored into selecting and integrating the right energy storage system into your microgrid. Getting it wrong is an expensive and dangerous mistake. S&C has more experience integrating energy storage systems than any other microgrid provider.
