Microgrids (Smart power grids) (Topical Term)

Work cat: Williams, Jada Bennette. Strategies for improved microgrid system selection for the electrification of rural areas, 2015 : page iv (A microgrid is a power generation system intended to provide and distribute electricity to a finite population. Microgrids have become a popular source of energy in rural locations)

Microgrids, 2014 : section 1.1 (Microgrids, also characterized as the “building blocks of smart grids”, are perhaps the most promising, novel network structure; these control capabilities allow distribution networks, mostly interconnected to the upstream distribution network, to also operate when isolated from the main grid, in case of faults or other external disturbances or disasters, thus increasing the quality of supply. Overall, the implementation of control is the key feature that distinguishes microgrids from distribution networks with distributed generation.)
