Microgrid Power Systems
In Microgrid Power Systems, you'll learn ...
- The five key features of a microgrid
- The structure of a microgrid
- The benefits of microgrids
- What is meant by “islanding”
Overview
This course looks at the evolving concepts of microgrid power systems. Microgrid power systems are a contiguous group of generation sources and loads that may operate in parallel with the utility grid or operate independently as a standalone or “islanded” utility system. This course explains the concept in detail, including technical and economic issues with microgrids, as well as expected uses for microgrids.
