The United States Department of Energy Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode."
The microgrid concept dates back to the beginning of our industry. In 1882 when Thomas Edison opened his Pearl Street Station there was no standard for a generation-distribution system for
In fact, Thomas Alva Edison introduced the first microgrid in 1882. It combined heat and power and produced electricity and thermal energy. Much has changed since then. You can read a
Electropedia defines a microgrid as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources with defined electrical boundaries, which form a local electric power system at distribution voltage

In terms of microgrid design, this means that the microgrid does not have to be built to serve power 24/7, but instead can be built to provide power during times the main electric grid experiences an outage
While it may seem that microgrids are new, the history of microgrids shows they have been around in some form for years in the US — although they haven''t always been called
By 1930, there were over a million microgrid-style electric plants from Kettering''s Delco and other brands (Kohler, Westinghouse, Willys, Fairbanks-Morse, etc.) providing off-grid rural power
