- Microgrids in this database include systems serving electricity to multiple buildings and/or consisting of more than one distributed energy resource. Microgrids must operate either continuously or conditionally during normal operating conditions.
- Microgrids that operate continuously supply power to the host site on a regular basis, both in grid-connected and island mode, and can be relied upon for uninterrupted power during extended grid outages.
- Microgrids that operate conditionally do not supply power to the host site on a continuous basis while grid connected. Instead, power supply to the site is based on the availability of renewable resources or market signals such as demand response or real-time pricing.
- All microgrids in this database must be capable of supplying continuous power to site loads when disconnected from the larger grid.
