A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. Microgrids play a crucial role in enhancing energy system resilience, reliability, and sustainability by offering localized power generation and distribution capabilities. Coalition stakeholders include the City of Oakridge, South Willamette Solutions, Lane County, Oakridge Westfir Area Chamber of Commerce, Good Company/Parametrix, Oakridge Trails. . This Research Topic focuses on adopting demand-side management (DSM) strategies within decentralized microgrid structures, enabling consumers to align their consumption patterns with grid utility requirements. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and off-grid modes.
