A microgrid is a network of distributed energy resources and loads that can disconnect and re-connect
to the larger utility grid as a single entity, allowing the connected loads to be served during
utility outages. Microgrids can also be found in remote locations where they may not be connected to
a larger grid. Some standby/backup generators are configured to connect/disconnect and operate
independently from the utility grid during an outage but these backup generators are not included in
the database unless they are part of a microgrid that serves other functions, such as daily power
requirements or participation in utility markets.
