Microgrids and local energy systems are decentralized energy networks that operate independently or in coordination with the main grid. They integrate local renewable energy sources, energy storage, and intelligent control systems to provide reliable and resilient power. Microgrids are especially valuable for remote communities, critical infrastructure, and urban districts. They reduce transmission losses, enhance energy security, and enable community-level energy independence. During grid disturbances, microgrids can operate in islanded mode, ensuring uninterrupted power supply. Local energy systems support renewable integration, emissions reduction, and flexible energy management. As energy systems decentralize, microgrids play a key role in resilient, low-carbon energy transitions.
