A microgrid is defined as an aggregation of electrical loads and generation. The generators in the microgrid may be microturbines, fuel cells, reciprocating engines, or any of a number of alternate power sources. A microgrid may take the form of shopping center, industrial park or college campus. To the utility, a microgrid is an electrical load that can be controlled in magnitude. The load could be constant, or the load could increase at night when electricity is cheaper, or the load could be held at zero during times of system stress.
