In 2002, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison were the first to coin the term "microgrid," referring to a group of energy sources and loads and the control system to allow it to operate with or without the larger power grid.
A microgrid is a local with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. It is able to operate in and off-grid modes. Microgrids may be linked as a or operated as stand-alone or isolated microgrid which only operates not be connected to a wider electric power system. Very small microgrids are sometimes called nanogrids when they serve a single building or load.
Update: Confusion still persists about the difference between solar and solar microgrids. First published in 2016, this article explains why it's important for energy consumers to know the difference.
